The prolonged and exhaustive exercise induces intestinal barrier dysfunction. Several studies show that supplementation with alanyl-glutamine (A/G) improves the cell proliferation intestinal and electrolyte absorption. The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of supplementation with A/G in the intestinal permeability in rats trained after prolonged exercise and exhaustive swimming. We used Wistar rats that were divided into seven groups: 1) Sedentary (S); 2) Sedentary A/G (S-A/G); 3) Trained (T); 4) Trained A/G (T-A/G); 5) Exhaustion (E); 6) Exhaustion A/G (E-A/G); 7) Recovered (R). The animal supplemented groups received the dipeptide A/G. The animals were trained for twelve weeks. In the methodology we performed biochemical analysis of pH, pCO2, pO2, SO2, and bases excess (BE), by the method of gas analysis and lactate and glucose. We analyzed the transcription of tight junctions: ZO-1, Occludin, Claudin-2 and PEPT-1 by RT-PCR. The analysis of intestinal permeability was performed by the method of the ingestion of lactulose/mannitol (L/M). We also performed histological analysis of the duodenum, jejunum and ileum. This study was approved by the CEPA-UFC on Protocol Nº 13/2013. Our results showed that SO2 and pCO2 were higher in groups E and E-A/G, but decreased the parameters pH and BE for these same groups. We found falling glucose levels and increased concentrations of lactate. A significant increase in the percentage of excretion of lactulose in groups E and E-A/G than in group S. There was, however, fall of excretion of lactulose with statistical difference between groups E and E-A/G, showing protection against the alanyl-glutamine increased intestinal permeability promoted by exhaustive exercise. The percentage of excretion of mannitol was increased in groups E and E-A/G than in group S. However, in the analysis of the excretion of both carbohydrates lactulose/mannitol we observed a significant increase in group E than in group S. However, there was significant difference between groups E and E-A/G showing that Ala/Gln was able to reverse the effects of exhaustive activity in intestinal permeability. We observed an increase in ZO-1 and occludin in groups S-A/G and T with respect to S. There was also an increase of ZO-1 in the E group compared to S. However, Ala/Gln reversed the transcription of these tight junctions in groups T-A/G and E-A/G. Transcription of claudin-2 was reduced in the S-A/G, but we obtained and increase in the E group compared to a decrease of S and E-A/G against E. Regarding the PET-1 we showed increased transcription in groups T and E in relation to S. However, the Ala/Gln reversed the transcript of this dipeptide in group E-A/G with respect to E. An analysis 72 hours after the exhaustion test values found for intestinal permeability similar to sedentary group. The prolonged and exhaustive exercise altered intestinal permeability and chronic supplementation with Ala/Gln was protective against the increase. The possible mechanism of Ala/Gln refers to mechanical processes of cell-to-cell interaction (occludin and ZO-1) and/or electrolytic (claudin-2).
