Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Influence of polymeric enteral nutrition supplemented with different doses of glutamine on gut permeability in critically ill patients.
To evaluate the effect of glutamine-supplemented polymeric enteral formulas on the recovery of gut-permeability abnormalities in critically ill patients. ⋯ Even though polymeric enteral nutrition was associated with a significant improvement in the L/M ratio, glutamine supplementation did not show a specific influence in improving recovery of gut permeability in critically ill patients.
