Albumin and fibrinogen syntheses increase while muscle protein synthesis decreases in head-injured patients
Abstract
The effect of trauma on protein metabolism was investigated in the whole body, muscle, and liver in severely head-injured patients presenting an acute inflammatory response by comparison to fed control subjects receiving a similar diet. Nonoxidative leucine disposal (an index of whole body protein synthesis) and muscle, albumin, and fibrinogen synthesis were determined by means of a primed, continuous infusion ofl-[1-13 C]leucine. Nonoxidative leucine disposal increased by 28% in the patients ( P < 0.02). Fractional muscle protein synthesis rate decreased by 50% ( P < 0.01) after injury. Fractional and absolute fribrinogen synthesis rates were multiplied by two and nine, respectively, after injury ( P< 0.001). Albumin levels were lower in patients (25.2 ± 1.2 g/l, means ± SE) than in controls (33.7 ± 1.2 g/l, P < 0.001). However, fractional albumin synthesis rates were increased by 60% in patients (11.4 ± 1.0%/day) compared with controls (7.3 ± 0.4%/day, P < 0.01). Therefore, 1) head trauma induces opposite and large changes of protein synthesis in muscle and acute-phase hepatic proteins, probably mediated by cytokines, glucocorticoids, and other stress hormones, and 2) in these patients, hypoalbuminemia is not due to a depressed albumin synthesis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
