Figure 3

Sum of all amino acids in plasma of critically ill patients during baseline and parenteral amino acid supplementation (AA) on 2 study days. On the first study day, 13 patients were studied, and on the second study day, 7 of these patients were still being treated in the intensive care unit and were studied again. The seven patients studied twice are indicated by continuous lines, and the other five studied on day 1 only are indicated by dashed lines. Individual values are shown, with the median in red. The sum of amino acids consists of glutamate, serine, glutamine, histidine, glycine, threonine, arginine, alanine, tyrosine, valine, methionine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, isoleucine, leucine and lysine.
