We aimed to investigate whether the combination of glutamine (GLN) administration and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (ES) prevents cancer-induced muscle atrophy with a special focus on the role of glutamine synthetase (GS), a downstream regulator of glucocorticoid signaling. ES was performed to the left gastrocnemius (Gas) muscles every other day starting one day after injection of C-26. After 28 days of C-26 injection, the weight of Gas muscle were decreased in C-26 group. This change was accompanied by a marked increase in the expression of GS. Neither GLN administration, nor ES training, nor combination of these prevented the loss of muscle weight and increased expression levels of GS in C-26 Gas muscles. These data suggest that the combination of nutrition and physical modalities used in the present study could not prevent muscle atrophy and the activation of glucocorticoid signaling in cachectic muscles of C-26 mice.
