Objectives: To estimate the efficacy and metabolic effects of growth hormone substitution as intravenous pulses together with alanyl-glutamine supplementation and tight blood glucose control in prolonged critical illness.Design: Prospective double-blind, randomized trial with open-label control arm.Setting: Intensive care unit of tertiary level hospital.Patients: Thirty multiple trauma patients (median Injury Severity Score 34).Interventions: Patients were randomized, at day 4 after trauma, to receive intravenous alanyl-glutamine supplementation (0.3 g/kg.day(-1) from day 4 until day 17) and intravenous growth hormone (administered days 7-17, full dose 50 mu g/kg.day(-1) from day 10 onward) (group 1, n = 10) or alanyl-glutamine and placebo (group 2, n = 10). Group 3 (n 10) received isocaloric isonitrogenous nutrition (proteins 1.5 g/kg.day(-1)) without alanyl-glutamine.Measurements and Main Results: Cumulative nitrogen balance for the whole study period was -97 +/- 38 g of nitrogen for group 1, -193 +/- 50 g of nitrogen for group 2, and -198 +/- 77 g of nitrogen for group 3 (p
