Seven patients with compensated liver cirrhosis were tested for branched chain amino acid (BCAA)-supplemented diet to evaluate dietetic therapy of the disease. Serum prealbumin and albumin levels, hepaplastin tests, nitrogen balance and molar ratio of serum BCAA and aromatic amino acid (AAA) were mostly improved during 2 weeks of the special diet supplemented with daily 5 g BCAA in three meals. The results indicate that BCAA-supplemented diet may be useful for treatment of impaired protein metabolism frequently observed in cirrhotic patients.
对7例代偿期肝硬化患者进行了补充支链氨基酸（BCAA）饮食的试验，以评估该疾病的饮食疗法。在为期2周的特殊饮食期间，每日三餐补充5g BCAA，血清前白蛋白和白蛋白水平、肝促凝血酶原激酶试验、氮平衡以及血清BCAA与芳香族氨基酸（AAA）的摩尔比大多得到改善。结果表明，补充BCAA的饮食可能有助于治疗肝硬化患者常见的蛋白质代谢受损。
