| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Nutrition support is generally considered an essential component in the management of critically ill patients. In this study, we have focused on the effect of a whey-based formula. Whey protein is derived from milk or the watery by-product of cheese production and is rapidly digested and absorbed. In addition to vitamin-binding proteins and several enzymes, whey protein contains a number of bioactive components including beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin, serum albumin, immunoglobulin, and lactoferrin. Further, our data shows that whey protein is a great source of branched chain amino acids, which are particularly useful for athletes and sarcopenic conditions. These data suggest a clinical role for whey peptide-based diets in promoting healing and recovery in critically ill patients.
