Abstract
This invention is a method of influencing voluntary food intake of patients receiving parenteral infusions, by adding branched-chain amino acids to the infusion solution. The branched-chain amino acid solution prevents total parenteral suppression of appetite and increases oral voluntary food intake. The branched-chain amino acid solution lowers the risk of regurgitation and aspiration in patients for uhm preoperative nutritional support and is an essential part of therapy.
