4.3 Glutamine Glutamine (Gln) is mainly converted through GLS/glutamate dehydrogenase (GLUD)-related reactions to generate -KG, which enters the TCA cycle and provides anaplerotic substrates for oxidative metabolism, while also influencing polarization-related epigenetic regulatory processes through metabolic ratios such as -KG/succinate (58)
