Positive effects of AA in the postoperative period are well known (e.g. radical scavenger activity); hence there is an indication for the substitution of AA. However, the dosage commonly recommended for substitution during clinical nutrition is not adequate. Therefore, a postoperative AA substitution procedure 'overnight' to normal values in plasma was investigated in this randomized, prospective study on a postoperative ICU in a university hospital. …
