500µl then superoxide anion generation was measured.
Results: Weight loss, length of hospital stay, the mean days of neutropenia and neutropenic fever were significantly lower in the Gln group, whereas the mean superoxide anion generation was found higher comparing to the control group (50 ng/L vs 43ng/L respectively). Complications other than febrile neutropenia were significantly less common in Gln group. Gln supplementation has resulted in significant improvement in serum total protein and serum albumin.
Conclusion: This trial suggested that early Gln supplementation regardless receiving parenteral nutrition enhances neutrophil function, maintains nutritional status and decreases hospital stay]]>
