Hebuterne: Now it is the time for our general discussion. We will discuss the amino acid requirements in pathologic states. To introduce this debate I would like to tell you that for a clinician it is really a very important problem. As Peter Furst said in the first lecture, there are very few data on amino acid requirements in wasting diseases and many other pathologic states.

Why there are very few data is probably because the issue is very complicated. Many factors can influence amino acid requirements during different diseases. First of all, anorexia is worth noting. It is really a major ...
