The purpose of the present study was to determine if the administration of a biosynthetic human growth hormone (bGH) was able to enhance the efficacy of total parenteral nutrition (PN). Patients (n = 38) who had undergone major gastrointestinal surgery were randomly divided in two groups. Group I (n = 20) treated only with PN and Group II (n = 18) treated as in Group I plus bGH (4 UI/daily). Our study shows that the administration of bGH produces a significant increase in serum levels of growth hormone and Somatomedin-C. It also caused a positive nitrogen balance from the first 24 hours on (p less than 0.01). In Group II on day 12 after operation a statistically significant increase in transferrin (p less than 0.05), albumin (p less than 0.01) and total proteins (p less than 0.02) was observed. Our study suggest that the administration of bGH produces, perhaps through Somatomedin-C as mediator, an increase in protein synthesis.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010289 Parenteral Nutrition, Total The delivery of nutrients for assimilation and utilization by a patient whose sole source of nutrients is via solutions administered intravenously, subcutaneously, or by some other non-alimentary route. The basic components of TPN solutions are protein hydrolysates or free amino acid mixtures, monosaccharides, and electrolytes. Components are selected for their ability to reverse catabolism, promote anabolism, and build structural proteins.
