Abstract
Sepsis is a major complication of total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Impaired immunity has been suggested as being responsible for TPN-related sepsis, but it is unknown how the immune system is affected by TPN. We recently found that administration of lipid-free TPN resulted in an increase in prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) release by stimulated splenic macrophages. This observation suggested that TPN may impair immunity through the prominent immunosuppressive effects of PGE2. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that addition of glucagon to TPN solution may protect against the immunosuppressive effect of TPN by modifying PGE2 secretion. Adult, male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 18) underwent jugular vein cannulation: group 1 (n = 7) received intravenous saline and chow ad libitum; group 2 (n = 6) received TPN (80 mL/24 h); and group 3 (n = 5) received TPN (80 mL/24 h) plus glucagon (100 micrograms/24 h). After 10 days, spleens were removed and splenic macrophages were isolated and cultured for 24 h in plain M199 medium (nonstimulated) or in medium containing Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (5 micrograms/mL) (stimulated). PGE2 release was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. There were no differences in PGE2 release between the groups of nonstimulated cells, but when stimulated with lipopolysaccharide, the macrophages from the TPN rats (group 2) released more PGE2 (81.68 +/- 25.99 ng/2.5 x 10(6) cells) than the control group (16.04 +/- 3.26 ng/2.5 x 10(6) cells). The release of PGE2 was normalized in the TPN animals treated with glucagon (15.71 +/- 3.33 ng/2.5 x 10(6) cells). This difference was significant, with p < .05 by Tukey's test after analysis of variance.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
This report investigates the effect of various levels of medium-chain/fish oil structured triglycerides on protein and energy metabolism in hypermetabolic rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (192 to 226 g) were continuously infused with isovolemic diets that provided 200 kcal/kg per day and 2 g of amino acid nitrogen per kilogram per day. The percentage of nonnitrogen calories as structured triglyceride was varied: no fat, 5%, 15%, or 30%. A 30% long-chain triglyceride diet was also provided as a control to compare the protein-sparing abilities of these two types of fat. Nitrogen excretion, plasma albumin, plasma triglycerides, and whole-body and liver and muscle protein kinetics were determined after 3 days of feeding. Whole-body protein breakdown, flux, and oxidation were similar in all groups. The 15% structured triglyceride diet maximized whole-body protein synthesis (p < .05). Liver fractional synthetic rate was significantly greater in animals receiving 5% of nonprotein calories as structured triglyceride (p < .05). Muscle fractional synthetic rate was unchanged. Plasma triglycerides were markedly elevated in the 30% structured triglyceride-fed rats. The 30% structured triglyceride diet maintained plasma albumin levels better than those diets containing no fat, 5% medium-chain triglyceride/fish oil structured triglyceride, or 30% long-chain triglycerides. Nitrogen excretion was lower in animals receiving 30% of nonnitrogen calories as a structured triglyceride than in those receiving 30% as long-chain triglycerides, but this difference did not reach statistical significance (p = .1). These data suggest that protein metabolism is optimized when structured triglyceride is provided at relatively low dietary fat intakes.

Abstract
Long-chain triglycerides are still the standard in fat emulsions, although medium-chain triglycerides have been suggested to have metabolic advantages even though pure medium-chain triglycerides are toxic in large doses. The next generation of fat emulsions may be structured triglycerides, which are assumed to provide a higher oxidation rate, faster clearance from blood, improved nitrogen sparing, and less of a tendency to accumulate in the reticuloendothelial system compared with long-chain triglyceride emulsions. This study was designed to evaluate the safety and tolerance of structured triglyceride fat emulsion 73403 (Kabi Pharmacia Parenterals, Stockholm, Sweden) compared with that of a standard long-chain triglyceride emulsion (Intralipid 20%) in postoperative patients requiring total parenteral nutrition after major surgery. The study was randomized and of the double-blind, parallel group type. Twenty patients were included and treated for 5 to 7 days. Safety and tolerance variables demonstrated no major differences between the study and control groups. Physiologic and biochemical variables suggested that structured lipids were rapidly cleared and metabolized. This study represents the first report of administration of structured triglycerides to postoperative patients. The structured triglyceride emulsion (73403) demonstrated no difference in safety and tolerance compared with Intralipid 20%. Therefore, it will now be possible to follow up with studies on metabolic efficiencies of structured triglycerides in postoperative patients.

Abstract
The successful treatment of pediatric surgical disease requires an understanding of the acute metabolic stress response. Poor clinical outcome can result when the metabolic demands of acute injury exceed the ability of endogenous host mechanisms to compensate. Appropriate exogenous supplementation may provide the metabolic and nutritional support crucial to recovery. As knowledge in this area grows, more effective treatment strategies are evolving. The potential for further advances, especially in the infant critical care population, offers the hope for substantial progress in the near future.

Abstract
The use of intravenous fat emulsions has become an integral part of the provision of parenteral nutrition. In the past, this was achieved by the administration of lipids separately from the dextrose-amino acid base solution. More recently, lipids have been admixed along with the dextrose-amino acid formula as a total nutrient admixture (TNA). This article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of TNAs, the factors that affect the stability of emulsions, the potential for microbial growth in TNAs, and guidelines for the compounding of TNAs.

Abstract
The manipulation of dietary fat intake can affect the response to disease, injury, and infection. These effects include enhancement or inhibition of immune function, altered susceptibility to cardiovascular disease, promotion or maintenance of gut integrity, and prevention of total parenteral nutrition-induced hepatic dysfunction. These effects may occur as a result of changes in the fatty acid composition of biomembranes or changes in concentrations of lipid moieties such as prostaglandins or leukotrienes. Those fats that have been shown to affect physiologic function include long-chain, medium-chain, and short-chain fatty acids and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Currently available enteral and parenteral products used for nutrition support contain widely varied amounts of these different fatty acids. Therefore, the selection of the most appropriate product or nutrition support regimen for an individual patient requires an understanding of the metabolism of these different fat substrates, their therapeutic indications, and the contraindications and controversies that surround their use. This article reviews these issues and also focuses on several alternate lipid sources such as short-chain fatty acids, medium-chain fatty acids, omega-3 fatty acids, and blended and structured lipids.

Abstract
The metabolic and physiologic responses to 7-hour endotoxin infusion (5.0 mg/kg h) were evaluated in guinea pigs following 6 weeks of dietary enrichment with diets containing either chemically structured lipid (SL) composed of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) and long-chain triglycerides (LCT) in the form of N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), or safflower oil (SO), which is high in N-6 fatty acids. Plasma phospholipid fatty acid profiles, arterial blood pH, PCO2, PO2, HCO3, lactate, blood pressure, oxygen consumption, and energy expenditure were examined. Plasma phospholipid fatty acids profiles reflected dietary intake with SL-fed animals demonstrating a significantly higher N-3 to N-6 fatty acid ratio compared with SO-fed animals. SL-fed animals responded to endotoxemia with a mild metabolic acidosis with respiratory compensation, which was associated with moderate lactatemia (3 mmol/L). SO-fed animals developed a severe metabolic acidosis with acidemia and respiratory compensation, which was associated with hyperlactatemia (8 mmol/L, P less than .05 v SL). No differences were observed in blood pressure, oxygen consumption, energy expenditure, or respiratory quotient during endotoxemia between dietary groups compared with controls. We conclude that diets enriched with structured lipid composed of medium-chain and N-3 fatty acids can attenuate the sequelae of endotoxemia.

Abstract
Lipid emulsion is a major caloric source in patients receiving total parenteral nutrition. Cleared by the Kupffer cells of the reticuloendothelial system (RES), lipid emulsion may adversely affect the RES function by decreasing its ability to remove blood-borne bacteria. This study evaluates and compares the blood clearance and organ localization of viable radiolabeled [35S] Escherichia coli following slow intraperitoneal (IP) and more rapid intravenous (IV) administration of a 20% fat emulsion (FE). Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 150 g were placed in 6 experimental groups (10 rats per group). Group 1 received IP normal saline (3 mL/d for 3 days); group II received IP FE (20%) (4 g/kg/d for 3 days); and group III received normal saline IV (3 mL/d for 3 days). The remaining animals received a slow (15-minute) IV infusion of FE (4 g/kg/dose) prior to bacterial challenge: group IV at 4 hours; group V at 24 hours; and group IV at 4 and 24 hours. E coli (10(9)/mL) were injected via the tail vein. Blood samples were obtained for clearance study. At 10 minutes, tissue samples (50 to 100 mg) of liver, spleen, kidney, and lung were obtained and processed for liquid scintillation counting. Although rapid bacterial blood clearance was found in all the groups, there was a significant change in organ localization of bacteria. Normal distribution of bacteria in group I was as follows: liver 70.1% +/- 6.2%, spleen 5.2% +/- 1.2%, kidney 0.2% +/- 0.04%, and lung 1.6% +/- 0.6%. There was a slight increase in lung localization of bacteria in rats receiving IP FE (3.7% +/- 1.5%; P less than .05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
In this article the general guidelines for a nutrition schedule and new developments in the field of parenteral nutrition are discussed. The present possibilities for parenteral nutrition do not imitate the normal physiologic diet completely. The most frequently used calculation of the energy expenditure is estimated by a formula using weight, height, and age and was developed in healthy persons. It does not always represent the real caloric demands of a patient. Complications, partly due to parenteral nutrition, are noted. In severely ill patients hyperglycaemia and liver function disorders are frequently observed. Parenteral nutrition results in atrophy of the intestinal mucosa. Deficiencies in trace elements and vitamins are diagnosed despite calculated adequate nutritional support because the demands are underestimated. New developments in parenteral nutrition include a better method to determine the nutritional demands in clinical practice, administration of hormones to improve the nitrogen balance, and development of new lipid emulsions and amino-acid solutions. Studies provide more insight into the physiologic process of trace element metabolism, and methods are being developed to define a real deficiency.

Abstract
The effect of the infusion of different fat emulsions (Intralipid and MCT/LCT mixtures) on the reticuloendothelial function of the rabbit has been investigated. Emulsions containing 20% dispersed triglyceride were administered over 6 h to a total of 3 g/kg body weight. The extent of blockade of the reticuloendothelial system was measured using a labelled probe in the form of technetium-99m labelled albumin microspheres. Scintigraphic and blood and organ level determinations demonstrated that all emulsions caused an impairment of reticuloendoethlial function, but this was small.

Abstract
Since the addition of lipid to intravenous feeding formulas, animal and human studies have shown impairment of the reticuloendothelial system (RES) due to slow rates of clearance and gradual accumulation of long chain triglycerides (LCT) in the liver. Medium chain triglycerides (MCT) accumulate only minimally in the liver and do not impair the RES. However, results from animal studies using technetium sulfur colloid (TSC) to assess RES function have been inconclusive. The present study reevaluates RES function after lipid infusion in guinea pigs as measured by organ distribution of TSC. Guinea pigs were fed 300 kcal/kg/day of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) for 2.5 days, with 50% of nonprotein calories as fat in the form of LCT or MCT, then injected intravenously with 2.5 or 25 microCi of TSC, and uptake by liver, spleen, and lungs was determined. Liver, lungs, and spleen all increased in size after TPN with LCT or MCT. Liver TSC uptake was significantly affected by the dose of TSC (p less than 0.05), with the high dose probably inducing an increased capacity of the liver to clear TSC from the blood. Liver uptake was not influenced by diet, but feeding MCT did significantly stimulate lung uptake of TSC (p less than 0.0001). This suggests that the hepatic TSC uptake system is not saturable, and may not be an appropriate measure of Kupffer cell function since the colloid is not phagocytosed. However, TSC blood clearance remains an excellent prognostic indicator for bacteremia and mortality in humans, and is useful for measuring global RES function.

Abstract
The ability of medium chain triglyceride-enriched total parenteral nutrition to support host tissue in a model of cancer cachexia was assessed by measuring tumor growth, body weight, nitrogen balance, energy expenditure, leucine kinetics, fractional protein synthetic rate of tumor, liver, and abdominis rectus muscle, and plasma levels of glucose and albumin. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (85-90 gm) received 10(7) cells of viable Yoshida sarcoma subcutaneously on day 0. Control rats received injections of sterile saline. On day 10 rats underwent central venous cannulation and were randomized to one of three isocaloric diets. One group received amino acids and dextrose, while the other two groups were infused with amino acids, dextrose, and fat as either long chain triglyceride or a physical mixture of medium chain triglyceride: long chain triglyceride (3:1). On day 14 L-1-(14)C-leucine was added to the diet to study protein kinetics, and energy metabolism was measured by indirect calorimetry. Both tumor-bearing and nontumor-bearing rats demonstrated improved nitrogen balance when given medium chain triglyceride-enriched total parenteral nutrition. Tumor-bearing rats had reduced resting energy expenditure vs. nontumor-bearing, while rats receiving total parenteral nutrition without fat had significantly greater respiratory quotients. Tumor-bearing rats had lower total body weight vs. nontumor-bearing on day 10, but body weight of tumor-bearing and nontumor-bearing did not differ on day 14. Whole body protein breakdown decreased and leucine balance increased in tumor-bearing rats as compared to nontumor-bearing. Total liver mass was greater in tumor-bearing rats, but liver protein fractional protein synthetic rate decreased in tumor-bearing rats vs. nontumor-bearing. Tumor growth rate and fractional protein synthetic rate were not altered by the parenteral diet. The data confirm an altered metabolism in the tumor-bearing host, and suggest that medium chain triglyceride can better support host tissue.

Abstract
Medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) are an important component of an enteral ketogenic diet for seizure control. Previously, it was difficult to maintain ketosis when parenteral (iv) nutrition therapy was necessary. The use of iv MCT in a 5-year-old girl with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome who had diarrhea and dehydration is reported. Conventional 20% iv fat emulsion (long-chain triglycerides, LCT) and dextrose free hyperalimentation (HAL) in a 4:1 ketogenic ratio did not maintain adequate ketosis during bowel rest. Compassionate use of iv MCT (Clintec Nutrition) infused as a 70:30 MCT/LCT ratio plus HAL maintained moderate ketosis. Seizures were well controlled during the iv MCT regimen, which allowed normal daily functioning. Complications included abnormal liver function tests and severe iron deficiency anemia of unknown etiology. Serum triglyceride and cholesterol levels increased to 1717 mg/dl and 614 mg/dl, respectively, but decreased with a reduction of lipid infusion and use of an antihyperlipemic drug. Nutritional status was maintained. In this case, iv MCT proved to be a relatively safe and effective short-term method of continuing parenteral nutrition while maintaining ketosis for seizure control.

Abstract
Previous study demonstrated that patients who received total parenteral nutrition (TPN) with standard intermittent infusion of long chain triglyceride (LCT) at 0.13 g kg-1hr-1 over 10 hr for each of three days showed a significant decline in 99Tc-sulfur colloid (TSC) clearance rate by the reticuloendothelial system (RES). The present studies evaluated eight patients who received the same total lipid dose of LCT infused continuously as in a three-in-one admixture, and another nine patients receiving the same amount of fat as a medium chain triglyceride (MCT)/LCT (75%/25%) emulsion intermittently over 10 hr at 0.13 g kg-1hr-1 for three consecutive days. Patients were given continuous total parenteral nutrition (TPN) comprised of protein, 1.5 g kg-1day-1, and dextrose, 4.5 g kg-1day-1. RES function was examined by measuring the clearance rates of intravenously injected TSC while receiving TPN containing only protein and dextrose, and again after three days of fat infusion. Mean (+/- SEM) clearance rate constants before and after continuous LCT infusion were 0.38 +/- 0.09 and 0.41 +/- 0.08 min-1, respectively, while those before and after intermittent MCT/LCT infusion were 0.50 +/- 0.18 and 0.73 +/- 0.24 min-1, respectively. In contrast to intermittent LCT infusion, the administration of continuous LCT or an intermittent MCT/LCT mixture does not impair TSC clearance by the RES. These findings suggest that condensing the daily period of LCT infusion at standard dosage may exceed the rate of metabolic utilization, resulting in increased fat removal and diminished TSC uptake by the RES.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Parenteral administration of long-chain triglyceride emulsions has been shown to have deleterious effects on reticuloendothelial system function in animal models. It is unknown whether this interference occurs in humans with clinically relevant doses of intravenous fat. Two studies were done. Eighteen patients were prospectively enrolled for study. Patients received full feeding by continuous total parenteral nutrition (amino acids 1.5 g/kg/day and dextrose 4.5 g/kg/day) with 33.1 kcal/kg/day. Forty-three % of the nonprotein calories were provided as soybean oil emulsion (Travamulsion 20%) and was administered intravenously over 10 hr (0.130 g/kg/hr). Reticuloendothelial system function was determined by measuring the change in the clearance rate of intravenously injected 99mTc-sulfur colloid (TSC) in each patient. In study 1 (n = 10), one day of lipid (10 hr) was infused, with the clearance of 99mTc-sulfur colloid measured before the lipid was infused and then during the last hour of the 10-hr infusion. In study 2 (n = 8), the clearance rates were measured before the lipid emulsion was begun, and then during the last hour of the infusion on the 3rd day. Clearance rates for TSC after 10 hr of lipid infusion in study 1 did not differ (0.27 +/- 1/min to 0.26 +/- 0.1/min, p greater than 0.10). However, after 3 days of lipid infusion (10 hr/day), a statistically significant reduction in TSC was seen (0.46 +/- 0.08/min-0.27 +/- 0.03/min, p less than 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Although total parenteral nutrition usually includes lipids, traditional long-chain triglyceride (LCT) emulsions do not fulfil the energy-providing role allotted to them. The special properties of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) and fatty acids led to replacement of part of the infused LCTs by MCTs. The present review shows that: 1. MCT/LCT emulsions are as safe and as well tolerated as the traditional emulsions, and contain enough essential fatty acids to meet patients' needs. 2. Relative to LCT emulsions, MCT/LCT emulsions exhibit a number of differences: * More rapid clearance from the circulation. Lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase hydrolyse them preferentially. * Decreased liability to be deposited as fat, in adipose tissue and liver. They do not overload the reticula-endothelial system, which may better preserve its capacity to phagocytose bacteria. * More rapid and complete oxidation, Faster energy provision for all tissues, even though a small part is dissipated in a clinical non-relevant thermogenesis and by o-oxidation. They are ketogenic if infused alone. * Concomitant administration of glucose does not influence their clearance rate, only slightly decreases their oxidation rate, but prevents the acceleration of ketogenesis. Two other properties of MCT/LCT emulsions are probable, though not confirmed: * exchanges of lipids between artificial fat particles and plasma lipoproteins may be less with these emulsions than with LCTs, though it is not yet known what effect diminished disturbance of lipoprotein homeostasis has on the organism. * The nitrogen-sparing effect of a TPN regimen containing MCTs/LCTs seems better than a regimen providing LCTs only.

Abstract
The collective evidence suggests that nutritional insult to both cell-mediated and humoral immunity in the presence of protein-energy malnutrition contributes to abnormalities of inflammation. The primary goal of nutritional support in inflammatory disease is to provide adequate energy and protein to meet endogenous requirements for tissue repair, IL-1 production, and restored cellular function, thus preventing secondary infection. Substrate provision should aim at improving the acute phase of injury while avoiding immune dysfunction. This goal may be achieved by altering the eicosanoid pathway toward a more regulated inflammatory state. In the context of allograft response, macrophages are central to the initiation of allosensitization by virtue of their ability to present antigen to T-cells. Activated T-cells may further modulate macrophage function by the secretion of lymphokines. Manipulation of macrophage eicosanoid production by dietary omega-3 PUFA may reduce cellular immune response. (table; see text) Nutritional support should also focus on providing essential micronutrients, with their potentially immunomodulating role, as adjunctive therapy in order to protect the host from toxic effects of free-radicals and chemicals released during inflammatory events. (Feeding regimens currently under investigation and development are presented in Table 4.) By integrating dietary immunotherapy with the use of recombinant hormones, monoclonal antibodies, and various available monokines, an optimal outcome for each patient may be achieved. However, effective application of immunotherapy to nutritional supplementation will require accurate monitoring of immune function in individual patients in order to avoid inappropriate treatment.

Abstract
The effects of enteral feeding with safflower oil or a structured lipid (SL) derived from 60% medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) and 40% fish oil (MCT/fish oil) on protein and energy metabolism were compared in gastrostomy-fed burned rats (30% body surface area) by measuring oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production, nitrogen balance, total liver protein, whole-body leucine kinetics, and rectus muscle and liver protein fractional synthetic rates (FSR, %/day). Male Sprague-Dawley rats (195 +/- 5g) received 50 ml/day of an enteral regimen containing 50 kcal, 2 g amino acids, and 40% nonprotein calories as lipid for three days. Protein kinetics were estimated by using a continuous L-[1-14C] leucine infusion technique on day 2. Thermally injured rats enterally fed MCT/fish oil yielded significantly higher daily and cumulative nitrogen balances (p less than or equal to 0.025) and rectus muscle (39%) FSR (p less than or equal to 0.05) when compared with safflower oil. MCT/fish oil showed a 22% decrease (p less than or equal to 0.005) in per cent flux oxidized and a 7% (p less than or equal to 0.05) decrease in total energy expenditure (TEE) versus safflower oil. A 15% increase in liver FSR was accompanied by a significant elevation (p less than or equal to 0.025) in total liver protein with MCT/fish oil. This novel SL shares the properties of other structured lipids in that it reduces the net protein catabolic effects of burn injury, in part, by influencing tissue protein synthetic rates. The reduction in TEE is unique to MCT/fish oil and may relate to the ability of fish oil to diminish the injury response.

Abstract
With the advances in technology stable fat emulsions containing medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) became available. Intravenous MCT are readily utilizable energy source because they reach the liver rapidly and their medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) are oxidized through carnitine-independent mechanisms. However the MCFA can also be deviated to alternative oxidation pathways which results in urinary excretion of metabolites. The metabolic effects of intravenous MCT containing fat emulsions are discussed and emphasis is given in the possible role of these fats in parenteral nutrition of preterm infants, who are carnitine depleted. Directions of future research are speculated.

Abstract
Excessive W-6 PUFA metabolism due to high levels of dietary fat intake can encourage infection via prolonged inflammation, enhanced Gram negative survival, reticuloendothelial blockage, immunosuppression, and monokine depression. Lipids can influence host immunity by altering eicosanoid metabolism and membrane structure and function. Further investigations are essential to answer questions regarding the levels and properties of various essential fatty acids in TPN lipid emulsions. Combining the features of LCT in the form of W-3 PUFA (fish oil) and MCT in the form of medium-chain triglyceride in a "structured lipid" may decrease infection and may improve survival rates by producing fewer inflammatory eicosanoids of the two- and four-series, and serving as a more "efficient fuel." The introduction of W-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids into the TPN emulsions as well as into normal diets may provide an important therapeutic advance in the pathogenesis of disease. Such unique antiinflammatory properties of W-3 PUFA require intensive research.

Abstract
The clinical use of intravenous lipid emulsions have been routine for over 25 years. For most of that time period the use of the vegetable oils, soybean and safflower, were the exclusive lipid source for these emulsions. Recently intravenous medium-chain triglycerides have been commercially available. This review will discuss several important new research developments coming from the laboratory which should prove to enhance the nutritional effectiveness as well as minimize the adverse effects of lipid emulsions. The use of medium-chain triglycerides either enterally or parenterally has shown them to be superior energy sources when compared to long-chain triglycerides. Under experimental conditions of burn injury, their support of certain aspects of protein metabolism is superior to that of the current emulsions. This may be due to their rapid and preferential oxidation and poor storage into adipose tissue, and increased thermogenesis which has been observed from either enteral or parenteral administration in humans. This increased metabolic rate is not accompanied by an increase in temperature. Lipid emulsions have been described as having many different effects on variable aspects of the immunologic system. Some of these could be considered to be beneficial or without harm, and others are considered potentially deleterious. We have focused on the effects of parenteral lipid emulsions, in animals as well as in humans, on the function of the reticuloendothelial system.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) and medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) have special physicochemical properties such as small molecular weight, small interfacial tension against water, and for the fatty acids, solubility in biological fluids. As a result the metabolic pathways followed by these fats in an organism are different and simpler, or identical but more rapid, than those followed by long-chain triglycerides (LCTs) and long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs). Consequently the MCTs have found numerous applications in oral or enteral nutrition and, more recently, in parenteral nutrition. The infusion of conventional fat emulsions in stress and sepsis is still controversial. A main question is whether an MCT supply can be beneficial for these patients. In this review, we will discuss different aspects of modified lipid and protein metabolism: exchanges between exogenous fat particles and lipoproteins; exogenous fat clearance, storage, and oxidation; reticuloendothelial system function; nitrogen balance; and hepatic function. For each of these perturbations, the MCT/LCT and structured lipid emulsions are theoretically capable to provide an appropriate solution. The efficiency of these emulsions has been demonstrated experimentally on animal models of stress and sepsis. However, the value of MCT-based fat emulsions for these pathological states has still to be ascertained by clinical studies.

Abstract
We assessed the effects of total enteral nutrition with long-chain triacylglycerides (LCT), medium-chain triacylglycerides (MCT), or two structured lipids, modified dairy fat (MDF) and modified MCT (Captex 810B, Capital City Products, Columbus, OH), on protein and energy metabolism in hypermetabolic burned rats (25% to 30% body surface area). Male Sprague-Dawley rats (200 +/- 10 g) were continuously gastrostomy-fed isovolemic diets that provided 50 kcal/d, 2 g amino acids/d and 40% nonprotein calories as lipid for three days. Changes in body weight, nitrogen balance, serum albumin, indirect calorimetry, whole body leucine kinetics, and rectus muscle and liver protein kinetics were determined. Whole body leucine kinetics and tissue fractional protein synthetic rates (FSR, percent per day) were estimated using a four-hour constant intravenous infusion of L-[1-14C]leucine on day 3. The group of rats enterally fed MDF lost less body weight than the other groups (P less than or equal to .05). MDF and Captex 810B produced a positive and significantly greater (P less than or equal to .05) daily and cumulative nitrogen balance than either LCT or MCT. Oxygen consumption (P less than or equal to .05) and total energy expenditure (P less than or equal to .05) were elevated approximately 22% with MDF as compared with LCT or MCT. Rectus muscle FSR and absolute rate of protein synthesis were increased 19% with MDF (P less than or equal to .05) as compared with LCT or MCT.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Lipids are an essential component of our body composition and necessary in our daily food intake. Conventional fats and oils are composed of glycerides of long chain fatty acids and are designated as long chain triglycerides (LCT). Body fat as well as the fats and oils in our daily intake fall into this category. In enteral and parenteral hyperalimentation, we can identify such LCT fats and oils. Soy, corn, safflower and sunflowerseed oils are typical of the LCT oils. In the search for alternative noncarbohydrate fuels, medium chain triglycerides (MCT) are unique and have established themselves in the areas of malabsorption syndrome cases and infant care and as a high energy, rapidly available fuel. Structure lipids with a MCT backbone and linoleic acid built into the triglyceride molecule have been developed to optimize the triglyceride structure that is best for patients, particularly the critically ill. Structured lipids with built-in essential fatty acid components or other polyunsaturated fatty acids promise greater flexibility in patient care and nitrogen support.

Abstract
This brief review will discuss recent work concerning new intravenous lipid emulsions for future use in clinical patients. Intravenous lipid emulsions currently available in the United States are derived from soybean or safflower oils and serve as sources of nonglucose, nitrogen-sparing calories and the essential fatty acid linoleic acid. Because of concerns that much of the infused long chain triglyceride is not oxidized readily and that there may be some immune system impairment, newer emulsions utilizing medium chain triglycerides have been developed.

Abstract
A rat heterotopic cardiac transplant model was used to study the effect of dietary lipids on the immune response. Animals receiving linoleic acid (LA), oleic acid (OA), and fish oil (FO) enriched diets showed significant prolongation of allograft survival when compared to the control diet fed animals. When LA was given to animals who had received a single donor specific transfusion (DST) augmentation of the beneficial DST effect was observed, while the OA and FO fed groups showed no differences from control DST animals. Dietary regulation of the immune response, possibly through manipulation of arachidonic acid metabolism, is implied.

Abstract
The efficacy of various total parenteral nutrition regimens administered for 72 h in supporting the rat after portacaval anastomosis was evaluated. All animals that received amino acid-containing formulas had significantly improved nitrogen balance (p less than 0.05), albumin synthetic rates (p less than 0.05), and serum albumin concentration (p less than 0.05) compared with animals receiving dextrose only. Rats that received the mixed-fuel system containing amino acids, dextrose, and lipid had significantly improved leucine flux and whole body protein synthesis (p less than 0.05) compared with animals that received dextrose only, or amino acids and dextrose. Diets composed of dextrose only, amino acids and dextrose, or amino acids and dextrose with the addition of currently available long-chain triglyceride lipid emulsion induced abnormal morphologic changes in the liver. No hepatic morphologic changes were evident in rats that received an isocaloric mixed-fuel regimen containing medium- and long-chain triglycerides. The results suggest that mixed-fuel systems containing amino acids and dextrose with lipids are superior to formulas containing dextrose only, or dextrose with amino acids. The improved liver morphology observed in animals given the lipid emulsion system containing medium- and long-chain triglycerides suggests that medium-chain triglycerides may provide an additional benefit in supporting the patient with liver dysfunction.
