General description
L-Theanine is an analog of glutamine and a component of green tea.
Application
- Safety and Efficacy of AlphaWave L-Theanine Supplementation for 28 Days in Healthy Adults with Moderate Stress: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial.: This clinical trial demonstrates that L-theanine supplementation effectively reduces stress and improves cognitive function without adverse effects (Moulin et al., 2024). (Moulin et al., 2024).
- Inhibitory Role of L-theanine, a Structural Analogue of Glutamate, Against GluR5 Kainate Receptor and its Prospective Utility Against Excitotoxicity.: The study examines L-theanine′s potential in protecting against neurotoxicity by inhibiting specific glutamate receptors (Deb and Borah, 2024). (Deb and Borah, 2024).
- L-theanine abates oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by positively regulating the antioxidant response.: This research demonstrates the cardioprotective effects of L-theanine, highlighting its role in reducing oxidative stress and improving mitochondrial function during heart injuries (García-Niño et al., 2024). (García-Niño et al., 2024).
Biochem/physiol Actions
L-Theanine modulates the activity of several antitumor drugs and has been reported to stimulate self-renewal of human embryonic stem cells. L-Theanine binds to AMPA, Kainate, NMDA, and group I mGlu receptors.
Theanine is able to bind to AMPA, kainite, and NMDA glycine receptors in rat cortical neurons but with less affinity than glutamic acid. It has been studied as a glutamate transport inhibitor, preventing glutamate uptake by M5076 ovarian sarcoma-bearing mouse cells and increasing the effect of doxorubicin on tumor growth in M5076 mice.
Other Notes
Theanine is an amino acid analog of glutamine, found in green tea.
