Hi again,
more on glutamineMy understanding is that most of our digestive track is lined with endothelial Cells which
mucus (mucous) membrane. They line the respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive tracts; serves as a barrier against infection and, in the digestive tract, moistens food, making it easier to swallow etc.In the bladder this protective mucous lining is called the glycosaminoglycans (GAG) layer.(hence Larrian who was a gyno-urologist refers to a GAG layer).
