Supplemental glutamine cuts hospital stays.(Clinical Rounds)
SAN FRANCISCO -- Enteral administration of the nutrient glutamine within 8 hours of major surgery boosted antioxidant production and reduced patients' length of stay by a day, according to a Canadian study reported by Dr. Adebola O.E. Obayan at the annual clinical congress of the American College of Surgeons.
"Surgery is a controlled form of trauma, the commonest cause of oxidative stress," explained Dr. Obayan, a surgeon at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon. Knowing that the loss of up to 40% of natural glutamine levels after surgery places the body in a state of oxidative stress, Dr. Obayan and associates hypothesized that providing supplemental glutamine would foster healing while preventing oxidative stress. They enrolled 69 patients undergoing elective surgery in a prospective, randomized, double-blind trial at the Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon, Sask. The surgical procedures included hepatobiliary, pancreatic, cardiorespiratory, ...
