To find out if a single dose of glutamine can relieve acute renal ischaemia-reperfusion injury in rats, to explore the role of heat shock protein in this process. ⋯ Our experiment suggested that a single dose of glutamine could relieve renal ischaemia-reperfusion injury in rats in 24 h, and its mechanism may be associated with enhanced heat shock protein expression. This finding may provide a new alternative for protecting against clinical renal ischaemia-reperfusion injury.
