[Use of free and bound amino acids in early postoperative parenteral feeding]

The degree of utilization of free and peptide-bound amino acids in parenteral feeding in early postoperative period was studied. More than 98% of free amino acids infused together with hydrolysate and 77% of peptide-bound amino acids remain in the patient's organism. The comparison of aminograms of aminosole peptides with those of the urine of patients who had been administered the above mentioned preparation showed just a slight similarity, but no correlation was established.
