Fig. 5. Correlation between intracellular L-glutamine levels and contents of amino acids produced from glutamine metabolism in C2C12 myotubes cultivated in the absence of glutamine (no addition and no addition plus glutamine synthase inhibitor) for 48 hours. Fig.s refer to the following amino acids: L-glutamine, L-alanine; L-aspartate, L-asparagine, and L-proline. The experimental groups are: (0 mM) no glutamine addition in the medium; (0 mM with glutamine synthase inhibitor) no glutamine addition in the medium with the glutamine synthase inhibitor (L-methionine sulfoximine - MSO at 0.1 mM). Results were analyzed using Pearson correlation (Pearson r>0.07).
