an increase in plasma bicarbonate, the lactic acid<br />
would be minimally buffered by the body’s own<br />
bicarbonate system, and the times to reach exhaustion<br />
would all be similar. It was shown that oral glutamine<br />
supplementation increased plasma bicarbonate<br />
(Welborne, 1995). Also in the study conducted by<br />
Welborne (1995), an increase in bicarbonate<br />
concentrations was only one <strong>of</strong> the benefits <strong>of</strong><br />
glutamine supplementation.<br />
