Abstract
Rationale: Previously, we reported that the postoperative parenteral nutrition containing amino acids enhanced albumin synthesis while the simultaneous infusion of exogenous albumin (exo-Alb) suppressed this enhancement in surgically stressed rats [1]. The effect of these infusions on the redox state of albumin remained unclear although physiological function of plasma albumin may be influenced by the redox state. In this study, we investigated the albumin redox state and its correlation with albumin synthesis after postoperative amino acid and/or exo-Alb infusion in surgically stressed rats.
