Alanyl‐glutamine provides beneficial nutritional support after orthotopic transplantation of the liver in pigs

摘要: We evaluated the nutritional status of pigs that received glutamine after orthotopic liver transplantation. After transplantation, one group an oral diet (group I,n=5), conventional total parenteral nutrition II,n=4), and alanylglutamine supplemented III,n=7). compared status, graft function, ileal mucosal thickness in three groups. There were no significant differences parameters or serum chemistries among In terms integrity, was reduced transplantation II, whereas it relatively well preserved III. The level endotoxin portal venous blood significantly lower III, than II on 7th day Parenteral alanyl-glutamine appears to have beneficial effects preserving integrity mucosa when intake nutrients may not be feasible. This could prevent bacterial translocation vein.
