Zusammenfassung:Background:Extremely preterm infants frequently have patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Recent recommendations include immediately beginning amino acid supplementation in extremely preterm infants. However, the effect of amino acids on closure of the ductus arteriosus (DA) remains unknown.Methods and Results:Aminogram results in human neonates at day 2 revealed that the plasma glutamate concentration was significantly lower in extremely preterm infants (
