pubmed:abstractText
Cancer and non-cancer patients received total parenteral nutrition (TPN) corresponding to either 120% or 200% non-protein energy resting energy expenditure. Whole-body tyrosine flux and leg exchange of various metabolites were measured in the fasted and fed state. Feeding with the moderate TPN rate did not stimulate whole-body protein synthesis in either group, but the high rate did. Both TPN rates switched an efflux of branched-chain aminoacids from the leg to an uptake in both groups, but this did not apply to tyrosine or phenylalanine. Only the high TPN rate stimulated glucose uptake across the leg in both groups. The leg exchanges of lactate, glycerol and free fatty acids were not significantly influenced by moderate or high TPN rates in either group, although changes in arterial concentrations indicated significant exchanges in compartments other than leg tissues. Thus standard TPN is insufficient to stimulate overall protein synthesis in both malnourished cancer and non-cancer patients, which may explain why previous studies have demonstrated insignificant functional effects with nutritional support to cancer patients.
