TI  - Plasma amino acid concentrations in geriatric control and hip-fracture patients.
PG  - 1135-41
AB  - Changes in plasma amino acids, 24-h nitrogen balances, and resting metabolic 
      expenditures (RMEs) were measured in 10 geriatric patients (aged 70-92 y) with 
      hip fracture 1 d after surgical fixation during both a 24-h fasting state and 
      while receiving total peripheral parenteral nutrition (TPPN) for 24 h at 1.5 g 
      amino acids.kg-1.d-1 and 29-30 kcal.kg-1.d-1 and compared with 19 healthy 
      volunteer subjects (aged 70-84 y). RME and 24-h urinary nitrogen losses were also 
      elevated in the trauma patients during both fasting and TPPN. Positive nitrogen 
      balances were evident in both groups during TPPN. Plasma total amino acid 
      concentration was significantly lower in the trauma patients because of lower 
      plasma concentrations of the nonessential amino acids. Phenylalanine and 
      methionine concentrations were significantly higher and lysine lower in the 
      trauma group. In addition, evaluation of the essential amino acid ratios after 
      fasting and TPPN reveal that there are no limiting amino acids during TPPN.
