That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The source of protein used in TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition) is free amino acids. TPN is a method of delivering nutrients directly into the bloodstream when a person is unable to consume food orally. Free amino acids are the building blocks of protein and can be easily absorbed by the body. By providing free amino acids, TPN ensures that the patient receives the necessary protein for their nutritional needs. Alpha globulins, casein amino acids, and immunoglobulins are not typically used as protein sources in TPN.
