Early Enteral Fat Supplementation Improves Protein Absorption in Premature Infants with an Enterostomy

Background: Early enteral fat supplementation and fish oil (FO) stimulates post-resection intestinal adaptation in rats and increases fat absorption in premature infants with bowel resection and an enterostomy. Objective: To test the hypothesis that early fat supplement and FO increases post-resecti...

Zusammenfassung:Background: Early enteral fat supplementation and fish oil (FO) stimulates post-resection intestinal adaptation in rats and increases fat absorption in premature infants with bowel resection and an enterostomy. Objective: To test the hypothesis that early fat supplement and FO increases post-resection protein absorption, intestinal RNA, protein without decreasing intestinal arachidonic acid (AA) in premature infants with an enterostomy.
