Preoperative carbohydrate supply and postoperative protein metabolism

Rationale: The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) strategy, or preoperative carbohydrate administration may improve the metabolic response to surgical stress and contribute to ameliorate patient ’s postsurgical recovery; however, data are inconclusive. Some experimental studies showed very short-term effects 2 h after surgery. Our purpose was to evaluate the effect of preoperative carbohydrate administration on protein homeostasis 24 h after abdominal surgery in rats.
