Influence of an omega-3 fatty acid-enriched enteral diet with and without added glutamine on the metabolic response to injury in a rat model of prolonged acute catabolism.
RatChemical/toxinSprague-DawleyMalen = 40 rats randomised into four groupsEnteral
Model: Prolonged acute catabolism induced by turpentine injections on days 1 and 3
Compared with the standard diet, the peptide and omega-3 enriched diets increased weight gain by 45 to 62 per cent and nitrogen balance by 33 to 56 per cent, raised jejunal glutathione by 20 to 30 per cent and lowered myeloperoxidase activity; glutamine supplementation added only a marginal effect,…
