title: [Protein metabolism after total small bowel resection].
abstract: Stable isotope 15N-lysine, 15N-alanine and 15N-glycine were used to evaluate the protein metabolism in a patient sustained by TPN for more than 4 years after total small bowel resection. Compared to normal control, the patient's total amount of absorption and urinary excretion were lower but utilization higher, the patient was considered in a status of increased protein synthesis and catabolism. Hence, the patient was vulnerable to nutritional failure if nutrition supply is not efficient. The results suggest that the nutritional program should be individualized, especially in the patient with total small bowel resection.
