Abstract
The present invention relates to methods for providing nutritional requirements to a patient having a chronic inflammatory reaction by administering to the patient an enteral composition that has a sufficiently reduced arginine content to reduce the nitric oxide formation in the patient. In an embodiment, the composition includes less than approximately 0.2% of the total calories as arginine.
