We determined the effects of 24-h recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) infusion into a femoral artery on leg muscle protein kinetics, amino acid transport, and glutamine metabolism in eight adult hypercatabolic trauma patients. Metabolic pathways were assessed by arteriovenous catheterization biopsies with use stable isotopes. Muscle mRNA levels selected enzymes competitive PCR. rhGH significantly accelerated inward transport rates phenylalanine leucine synthesis, whereas degradation rate...
Abstract Background Frailty, demographic and clinical variables linked to incident diseases (e.g., dehydration, inflammation) contribute poor outcomes in older patients acutely hospitalized. Their predictivity on short-, intermediate- long-term mortality a comprehensive model has been scarcely investigated. Aims To test the performance of predictive tool considering frailty inflammation as well age, sex impaired hydration status 1-year admitted patients. Methods Retrospective observational...
