Metabolomic analysis reveals altered metabolites in trauma patients, indicating nutritional support's influence on outcomes.

This research focuses on identifying metabolic changes in critically ill adults with trauma receiving enteral nutrition support.
Conducted a metabolomic cohort study with 67 trauma patients
Utilized nuclear magnetic resonance to analyze 45 metabolites in plasma
Divided patients into low and high protein intake groups based on nutrition support in the first week
Five metabolites significantly changed in both protein intake groups by day 3
Twenty metabolites in the low-protein group and 14 in the high-protein group differed by day 7
BCAA catabolism was identified as a key altered pathway in both groups

O'KEEFE et al. (2026) studied this question.
