Comparison of Tolerance and Nutritional Outcome Between a Peptide and a Standard Enteral Formula in Critically Ill, Hypoalbuminemic Patients

Abstract
Dipeptides have been reported to be more efficiently absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract than free amino acids. The objective of this study was to compare prospectively a peptide enteral formula (PEF) with a standard enteral formula (SEF) for tolerance and nutritional outcome in acutely injured, hypoalbuminemic (Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition16:20-24, 1992)
