Mean aminoacidemia levels in critical trauma patients (n = 23) at the moment of the admission in the intensive care unit (ICU) and at the first and the third days; and in control healthy individuals (n = 11). Comparisons were performed with Student’s-t test (with control group) and paired Student’s-t test (between the ICU moments of evaluation). * Plasma levels × 10−1. Controls corresponded to a historical cohort of healthy individuals [29]
