  • Title: [The behavior of visceral proteins in digestive surgery patients undergoing total peripheral parenteral nutrition enriched with branched-chain amino acids (BCAA)].
    Author: Ruiz Coracho P, Bellón Caneiro JM, García Parreño J, Pérez Fraguero R, García González F.
    Journal: Rev Esp Enferm Dig; 1991 Nov; 80(5):301-6. PubMed ID: 1768467.
    Abstract:
    The objective of this study, is to confirm a clear benefit of protein synthesis after administration of branched amino acids in parenteral nutrition solutions. Particularly, on a parenteral total hypocaloric nutrition including lipids. Eighty one digestive surgical patients, were included in this study. Fifty with neoplastic disease and thirty one without. Patients in both study groups received a similar peripheral vein nutritional support regimen one week after surgical treatment. To evaluate the effects of the branched chain amino acid enrichment on total parenteral nutrition, we observed the behavior of short middle life proteins such as transferrin, prealbumin, and retinol binding protein, for their reliability as indexes of protein synthesis.
