  • *Metabolism of dietary derived amino acids in states of anabolic resistance*
    Critically ill patients often suffer massive losses of body protein, muscle
    mass, and muscle function, factors that worsen prognosis and prolong
    recovery. Improved nutrition strategies might be useful to limit protein
    loss, but a better understanding of protein metabolism in critical illness is
    needed. We are investigating whole body protein turnover in patients on the
    ICU, using stable isotope tracer techniques, to study their utilisation of
    dietary protein. Our results may allow us to develop more efficient feeding
    schedules to minimize protein loss and its associated morbidity.
