Previous studies have demonstrated that biosynthetic human growth hormone (BSHGH) improves nitrogen balance and increases fat oxidation in patients receiving either inadequate (5% dextrose) or total parenteral nutrition. This study investigates the effect of BSHGH on nitrogen balance and energy metabolism in patients receiving a hyponitrogenous (7gNiday) and hypocaloric (500 kcal from glucose, 450 kcal from fat) regimen administered through a peripheral vein for the first seven days after surgery. Si.xpatients received O.lmg BSHGH/kg/day and five placebo. The BSHGH group were significantly heavier (mean 62.5 , range 53-84kg) than the placebo group (mean 50.8, range 42-58kg).

It is not yet clear when nutrition should be started after major abdominal surgery. So far only i.v.-tests have been performed to clarify the carbohydrate metabolism intra- operatively and in the early postoperative period. The present study is the first to investigate resorption and hormonal response to an enteral glucose load in man intra- operatively and immediately after operation. Methods: By means of assisted pump infusion 15 g of glucose were intraduodenally infused via a filiform tube within 7.5 min (c 10 ml of a 10% solution/min). Blood samples were taken over 90 min. The study was started preoperatively and repeated intraoperatively as well as 3, 6, and 12 hours after operation in 12 patients under- going major abdominal surgery, who were of normal body weight and free of metabolic disorders.

Results: Glucose resorption is significantly hampered intraoperatively and 6 h post- operatively, and slightly less until 12 h postoperatively.
