Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2012
The specific aim of this study is to determine whether oral citrulline administration enhances whole body protein synthesis in patients with intestinal failure. Protein metabolism will be assessed using an intravenous infusion of stable isotope labeled leucine. The investigators hypothesize that citrulline supplementation will decrease leucine oxidation without altering proteolysis, and consequently stimulate protein synthesis.
