Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Preclinical studies from our laboratory demonstrated therapeutic effects of enteral dextrose administration in the acute phase of sepsis, mediated by the intestine-derived incretin hormone glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide. The current study investigated the effects of an early enteral dextrose infusion on systemic inflammation and glucose metabolism in critically ill septic patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypophosphatemia may be a useful biomarker to identify thiamine deficiency in critically ill enterally-fed patients. The objective was to determine whether intravenous thiamine affects blood lactate, biochemical and clinical outcomes in this group. METHOD This randomized clinical trial was conducted across 5 Intensive Care Units. Ninety critically ill adult patients with a serum phosphate ≤0.65 mmol/L within 72 h of commencing enteral nutrition were randomized to intravenous thiamine (200 mg every 12 h for up to 14 doses) or usual care (control). The primary outcome was blood lactate over time and data are median [IQR] unless specified. RESULTS Baseline variables were well balanced (thiamine: lactate 1.2 [1.0, 1.6] mmol/L, phosphate 0.56 [0.44, 0.64] mmol/L vs. control: lactate 1.0 [0.8, 1.3], phosphate 0.54 [0.44, 0.61]). Patients randomized to the intervention received a median of 11 [7.5, 13.5] doses for a total of 2200 [1500, 2700] mg of thiamine. Blood lactate over the entire 7 days of treatment was similar between groups (mean difference = -0.1 (95 % CI -0.2 to 0.1) mmol/L; P = 0.55). The percentage change from lactate pre-randomization to T = 24 h was not statistically different (thiamine: -32 (-39, -26) vs. control: -24 (-31, -16) percent, P = 0.09). Clinical outcomes were not statistically different (days of vasopressor administration: thiamine 2 [1, 4] vs. control 2 [0, 5.5] days; P = 0.37, and deaths 9 (21 %) vs. 5 (11 %); P = 0.25). CONCLUSIONS In critically ill enterally-fed patients who developed hypophosphatemia, intravenous thiamine did not cause measurable differences in blood lactate or clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis, a complex disorder characterized by a dysregulated immune response to an inciting infection, affects over one million Americans annually. Dysglycemia during sepsis hospitalization confers increased risk of organ dysfunction and death, and novel targets for the treatment of sepsis and maintenance of glucose homeostasis are needed. Incretin hormones are secreted by enteroendocrine cells in response to enteral nutrients and potentiate insulin release from pancreatic β cells in a glucose-dependent manner, thereby reducing the risk of insulin-induced hypoglycemia. Incretin hormones also reduce systemic inflammation in preclinical studies, but studies of incretins in the setting of sepsis are limited. METHODS In this bench-to-bedside mini-review, we detail the evidence to support incretin hormones as a therapeutic target in patients with sepsis. We performed a PubMed search using the medical subject headings "incretins," "glucagon-like peptide-1," "gastric inhibitory peptide," "inflammation," and "sepsis." RESULTS Incretin-based therapies decrease immune cell activation, inhibit proinflammatory cytokine release, and reduce organ dysfunction and mortality in preclinical models of sepsis. Several small clinical trials in critically ill patients have suggested potential benefit in glycemic control using exogenous incretin infusions, but these studies had limited power and were performed in mixed populations. Further clinical studies examining incretins specifically in septic populations are needed. CONCLUSIONS Targeting the incretin hormone axis in sepsis may provide a means of not only promoting euglycemia in sepsis but also attenuating the proinflammatory response and improving clinical outcomes.
