Abstract
Enternal arginine supplementation increased wound DNA synthesis, which is anticipated to promote cell proliferation for wound healing. The failure of enteral arginine to stimulate protein synthesis is explained by limited increase in plasma arginine. Decreased availability of essential amino acids, especially branched chain amino acids, may also contribute to the failure to stimulate protein synthesis.
