ABSTRACT
Objective:
To determine if growth hormone (GH) and glutamine (Gln) reduce the time and dose of parenteral nutrition (PN) in patients with short bowel syndrome.Methods:
Sixteen PN-dependent patients with short bowel syndrome were randomly assigned to Group A (control, oral Gln [0.6 g/kg/d] + GH placebo + diet, n= 5), B (Gln placebo + GH [8 IU/d] + diet, n= 5), and C (Gln + GH + diet, n= 6). PN volume and content were determined by standard criteria based on clinical measurements. After 4 weeks, GH and GH placebo were discontinued, but the diet with Gln or Gln placebo was continued for 12 weeks.Results:
Group B showed greater reductions in PN volume, PN calorie and PN frequency than Group A (P
