“…In addition, several trace elements have been reported to be significantly decreased in TAA-induced cirrhotic rats (Abul et al 2001). Thus, providing nutritional support for patients with cirrhosis may prevent progressive liver failure, reduce mortality, and improve their quality of life (Merli et al 2002;Bianchi et al 2008;Urata et al 2007;Holeck 1999). In subjects undergoing major hepatic resection or surgery, the correction of malnutrition and the prevention of weight loss may reduce mortality, both prior to the surgical procedure and following the surgical procedure (Bianchi et al 2008;Fan et al 1994).…”
