Randomized Controlled Trial
The effects of a high-fruit and -vegetable, high-fiber, low-fat dietary intervention on serum concentrations of insulin, glucose, IGF-I and IGFBP-3.
To determine the effects of dietary change on serum concentrations of insulin, glucose, IGF-I and IGFBP-3. ⋯ A low-fat, high-fiber, high-fruit and -vegetable dietary intervention had minimal impact on serum concentrations of insulin, glucose, IGF-I and IGFBP-3 overall, but in lean subjects the intervention resulted in a significant reduction in serum glucose concentration.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Nutritional modulation of protein metabolism after gastrointestinal surgery.
The metabolic response to surgery includes alterations in protein metabolism, resulting in a net loss of proteins. Protein hypercatabolism is considered an unavoidable consequence of injury, and an important source of morbidity and mortality. Our purpose was to determine the effect of nutrition on protein metabolism following gastrointestinal surgery, and to elucidate whether postoperative protein loss can be prevented with adequate nutritional support. ⋯ Complete nutritional support can prevent protein loss after gastrointestinal surgery and maintain protein metabolism without alterations.
