Abstract

Glutamine (Gln) is a conditional necessary amino acid and vitamin E is an essential nutrient for animals. Both Gln and vitamin E exert various physiologic functions, and can work together with complementary and increasing effects in improving anti-stress, antioxidation, immunity, growth performance and surviving rate. Based on summarizing the major functions of Gln and vitamin E, their influence and mechanism working together on animals, including fish especially, are reviewed at the present paper. The purpose is to promote the studies and application of synergism of Gln and vitamin E and to obtain increasing effects.

Key words: glutamine; vitamin E; fish
