In ten patients with a femoral shaft fracture, arterial plasma amino acids and glucagon, blood glucose, and serum insulin were measured after an overnight fast on the third, fifth, and seventh days following injury. Ten normal subjects were controls. On all days, concentrations of the key glucogenic amino acid, alanine, were the same in both groups, but levels of another glucogenic amino acid, glycine, were significantly less in the fracture patients. Other amino acid changes following injury were maximal at 7 days, with significant elevations of phenylalanine, methionine, tyrosine, ornithine, lysine, arginine, valine, isoleucine, and leucine. Increased levels of insulin, glucose, valine, isoleucine, and leucine on the fifth and seventh days after injury implied insulin resistance. Plasma glucagon was elevated on the third (p less than 0.05) and seventh (p less than 0.01) days after injury, but the concentrations measured are insufficient to explain the impaired carbohydrate tolerance following a fracture.
