Effect of oral glutathione on hepatic glutathione levels in rats and mice
1989
Administration of oral glutathione (GSH) increases hepatic GSH levels in fasted rats, in mice treated with GSH depletors such as diethyl maleate and in mice treated with high doses of paracetamol. An increase in hepatic GSH levels after administration of oral GSH does not occur in animals treated with buthionine sulphoximine, an inhibitor of GSH synthesis. Administration of oral GSH leads to an increase in the concentration of l-cysteine, a precursor of GSH, in portal blood plasma. Oral administration of l-methionine produced a significant decrease of hepatic ATP in fasted rats, but not in fed rats. Administration ofN−acetylcysteine or GSH did not affect the hepatic ATP levels. The results …
The metabolic status of internal intensive care patients as indicated by 3-methylhistidine excretion and nitrogen balance
1984
Abstract The metabolic status of 15 intensive care patients receiving a standardized total parenteral nutrition regimen was followed up to 15 days immediately after admission by measuring 3-methylhistidine, total nitrogen, and creatinine excretion. The average 3-methylhistidine excretion was within the normal range during the first 3 days, rising on day 4 and reached a maximum of 70% above normal values on day 5. It declined to within normal range thereafter in most of the patients. Mean values for creatinine excretion remained relatively constant within the normal range throughout the study. During all days 3-methylhistidine was negatively correlated with N-balance. It is concluded that th…
Discrepancy between food offered and consumed during hospitalization in older adult patients
2020
AbstractMalnutrition is one of the most frequent geriatric syndromes and a key contributor to frailty. Ageing is commonly associated with modifications in eating habits with changes in appetite and food intake. Malnutrition is not only a sign of illness, but its presence increases morbidity, hospital stay, institutionalization, poor quality of life, in-hospital complications, expenses, and mortality. Hospitalized patients have increased calorie requirements to overcome the increased energy expenditure due to acute disease. We aimed to evaluate the actual consumption of the food offered to a sample of hospitalized older adults. Sixty hospitalized patients (women/men = 23/37) were recruited s…

Stability of Ascorbic Acid in Several Blood Collecting Procedures
2003
Purpose: There is good evidence that ascorbic acid (AA) status influences the onset of post-operative complications in intensive care patients. Light and room temperature cause the spontaneous oxidation of AA. Therefore, the stability of AA during modified sample preparation was investigated. Design: Prospective, single centre study. Methods: The AA plasma concentration was analysed in arterial and venous blood with added ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) from 165 subjects. In addition, EDTA or heparin was added as an anticoagulant in venous blood of 79 subjects. Analyses were carried out using high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection. Results: In samples of…
