[The intravenous 15N metabolism test in assessing the effect of parenteral feeding on protein synthesis].
It is possible to investigate the influence of parenteral applicated L-amino acids on protein metabolism of whole organism by the help of 15N-tracer technique in this paper described. We can determine the utilization of nitrogen parenteral applicated quantitatively. On the basis of graphical methods the protein synthesis rate can be calculated. We get this from mathematical models, based on 3-pool-model. The calculation bases on 15N-elimination in urine after intravenous infusion of 15N labeled amino acids solution during the time of 24 h (endproduct method). We describe 3 graphical methods, using the so-called values of plateau of cumulative 15N-excess amount (96 h) (plateau method A) or 15N abundance after 24 h (plateau method B) and the slope of the curve of 15N excess, amount at 24 h ('slope' method). By the help of these methods the therapeutical nutritive conceptions can be evaluated.
