The primary reasons are post-operative immunosuppression variables/differences in glutathione expression, decrements in HLA-DR expression on monocytes and resultant bacterial elimination dynamics by neutrophils, skeletal muscle protein synthesis variables, differences in whole-body nitrogen balance, muscle glutamine-loss and differences in whole-body nitrogen balance.
