a strong trendP = .055
Patients receiving lactated Ringer's solution also had a strong trend of lower concentrations of plasma hydroxyisocaproic acid (interaction P = .055), a leucine degradation metabolite, and smaller decreases in phospholipid breakdown anti-inflammatory metabolite concentrations, namely 15-ketoeicosatetraenoic acid (15-oxoETE, interaction P = .063).
