Carnitine derives from intake of preformed exogenous carnitine and synthesis from lysine and methionine, but is absent in parenteral fluids. Urinary excretions of carnitine and its derivatives was measured in 30 patients 2-8 days after severe multiple injuries and compared with controls. The patients received five different isocaloric parenteral nutritional regimens;group 1 glucose and fat, group 2 glucose, fat and amino acids, group 3 glucose and insulin, group 4 glucose and amino acids, and group 5 branched-chain amino acids. The mean total carnitine excretion in healthy men was 420 mumol/24 h +/- 57 (SEM), and in women 266 mumol/24 h +/- 29, 41% of which was free carnitine. Mean excretion of total carnitine during days 2-8 after trauma for the five groups was: 900 +/- 100, 1169 +/- 112, 1251 +/- 102, 1023 +/- 117, and 668 +/- 128 mumol/24 h, being significantly higher in groups 1-4 than in healthy men. The free carnitine fraction in the patients was significantly higher than in controlled healthy subjects. Total carnitine excretion was unaffected by different nutritional regimens in the very first days. During days 6-8, group 5, receiving branched-chain amino acids had lower excretion of total carnitine (compared to groups 2-4) and free carnitine (compared to groups 3-4). Groups 3 and 4 excreted a higher percentage as free carnitine compared to the other groups.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
