Abstract

To investigate the effects of preoperative feeding with a carbohydrate-based drink that also contained glutamine and antioxidants (oral nutritional supplement [ONS], Fresenuis Kabi, Germany) on glycogen reserves, mitochondrial function, and the expression of key metabolic genes and proteins.
