Over a period of 12 hours a total amount of 190 g fructose, 190 g glucose, 145 g xylitol, 96 g fat and 99 g amino acids were infused. The utilization of carbohydrate was not diminished despite the high fat load. In addition, the antiketogenic action of carbohydrate was still provable. The nitrogen balance was positive as an indicator of good utilization of amino acids. Therefore, simultaneous administration of a carbohydrate mixture and a fat emulsion as energy sources during application of amino acids is recommended.
