Abstract
In preterm neonates unable to obtain sufficient oral nutrition, intravenous lipid emulsion is life-saving. The contribution of post-conceptional level of maturation to pathology that some neonates experience is difficult to untangle from the global pathophysiology of premature birth. In the present study, we determined fetal physiological responses to intravenous lipid emulsion. Fetal sheep were given intravenous Intralipid 20® (n = 4 females, 7 males) or Lactated Ringer's Solution (n = 7 females, 4 males) between 125 ± 1 and 133 ± 1 d of gestation (term = 147 d). Manufacturer's recommendation for premature human infants was followed: 0.5-1 g/kg/d initial rate, increased by 0.5-1 to 3 g/kg/d. Hemodynamic parameters and arterial blood chemistry were measured, and organs were studied postmortem. Red blood cell lipidomics were analyzed by LC-MS. Intravenous Intralipid did not alter hemodynamic or most blood parameters. Compared with controls, Intralipid infusion increased final day plasma protein (P=0.004; 3.5 ± 0.3 vs. 3.9 ± 0.2 g/dL), albumin (P = 0.031; 2.2 ± 0.1 vs. 2.4 ± 0.2 g/dL), and bilirubin (P<0.001; conjugated: 0.2 ± 0.1 vs. 0.6 ± 0.2 mg/dL; unconjugated: 0.2 ± 0.1 vs. 1.1 ± 0.4 mg/dL). Circulating IGF-1 decreased following Intralipid infusion (P<0.001; 66 ± 24 vs. 46 ± 24 ng/mL). Compared with control Oil Red O liver stains (median score 0), Intralipid-infused fetuses scored 108 (P=0.0009). Lipidomic analysis revealed uptake and processing of infused lipids into red blood cells, increasing abundance of saturated fatty acids. The near-term fetal sheep tolerates intravenous lipid emulsion well, although lipid accumulates in the liver. Increased levels of unconjugated bilirubin may reflect increased red blood cell turnover or impaired placental clearance. Whether Intralipid is less well tolerated earlier in gestation remains to be determined.

Abstract
Background: Intravenous lipid emulsions (IL) are an important part of parenteral nutrition (PN) to meet essential fatty acid (EFA) requirements and metabolic demands of neonates and preterm infants. Some critically-ill neonates may not metabolize IL effectively which can lead to hypertriglyceridemia. Risks associated with this include increased pulmonary vascular resistance, displaced bilirubins, and platelet or macrophage dysfunction. Serum triglyceride (TG) concentration is used as a marker for lipid tolerance and predictor of potential complications involved with IL administration, but the clinical significance of this is still debated. Management of TG levels with regard to timing of laboratory tests, the ideal goal range, and duration of infusion of IL varies across institutions and is not standardized. Methods: Single-center, retrospective study of newborn infants receiving parenteral nutrition (PN). Fasting and non-fasting TG levels were drawn during the same lipid infusion of 2-3g/kg/day. The primary outcome was the difference between fasting and non-fasting TG levels. Statistical assessment of continuous data was done with student t-test and nominal data was evaluated using X2-test and logistic regression. Results: Forty infants were included with mean gestational age at birth of 29.5 ± 3.4 weeks and mean birth weight of 1.3 ± 0.5 kg. Mean time between lab draws while on same IL dose was 11.6 ± 0.2 h with resulting mean fasting and non-fasting (random) TG levels 82 ± 40 mg/dL (95% CI 68.4, 97.6) and 101 ± 40 mg/dL (95% CI 88.5, 115.8), respectively. Mean difference between TG levels during lipid-free interval and during infusion was -18.6 ± 51.2 mg/dL (95% CI -35.0, -2.3; p = 0.03). Conclusion: We concluded there is no difference in the management of IL, when TG level was drawn randomly or as fasting sample. Obtaining TG level during routine lab draws is appropriate. We extrapolated that the administration of IL over 24 h will not interfere with TG level.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intralipid (ILP), a lipid emulsion, protects organs against ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury. We hypothesized that ILP activates endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and increases NO release from endothelial cells (ECs) through a fatty-acid translocase cluster of differentiation (CD36) mediated endocytotic mechanism, acting as a potentially protective paracrine signal during oxidative stress. METHODS Human umbilical-vein ECs were exposed to 1% ILP for 2 hours followed by oxidative stress with 0.2-mM hydrogen peroxide for 2 hours. Western blots were conducted with anti-CD36, dynamin-2, src-kinase-1, eNOS, and phospho-eNOS; equal protein loading was confirmed with β-actin. CD36 immunoprecipitation was probed for caveolin-1 to determine if CD36 and caveolin-1 were complexed on the cell membrane. NO was measured by fluorescence of ECs. RESULTS ILP caused a 227% increase in CD36 expression vs controls. Immunoprecipitation indicated a CD36/caveolin-1 complex on ECs' membrane with exposure to ILP. Dynamin-2 increased 52% and src-kinase-1 340% after ILP treatment vs control cells. eNOS phosphorylation was confirmed by a 63% increase in the phospho-eNOS/eNOS ratio in ILP-treated cells, and NO fluorescence increased 102%. CONCLUSION ILP enters ECs via endocytosis by a CD36/caveolin-1 cell membrane receptor complex, which in turn is pulled into the cell by dynamin-2 activity. Upregulation of src-kinase-1 and eNOS phosphorylation suggest downstream mediators. Subsequent NO release from ECs serve as a paracrine signal to neighboring cells for protection against IR injury. Student t-test was utilized for single comparisons and analysis of variance with Bonferroni-Dunn post hoc modification for multiple comparisons; P < .05 was considered statistically significant.

Abstract
Objective: To determine the plasma triglyceride (TG) and unbound free fatty acid (FFAu) levels in infants treated with increasing dosages of soybean lipid, intralipid (IL), infusion. Study design: TG and FFAu levels were measured in 78 preterm infants (BW 500-2000 g; GA 23-34 weeks) using the fluorescent probe ADIFAB2 and enzymatic method. Results: The infants' BW was 1266.2 ± 440.7 g and GA 28.8 ± 3.1 weeks. TG levels were 77.4 ± 50 mg/dL, 140.2 ± 188 mg/dL (p < .04 compared to levels during low dose IL infusion) and 135.6 ± 118 mg/dL (p < .004), respectively during increased IL rates. FFAu levels were 17.7 ± 13 nM, 47.3 ± 102.8 nM (p = .07) and 98 ± 234 nM (p = .03). TG levels correlated with IL dose, the rate of IL administration, and FFAu levels. TG and FFAu levels were higher in infants below 28 weeks' gestation Conclusions: Increasing dosage of IL is associated with increasing levels of TG and FFAu, especially in infants below 29 weeks of gestation. The increased level of FFAu suggests inefficient cellular utilization.

Abstract
Excessive energy intake and reduced energy expenditure drive the development of insulin resistance and metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Metabolic signals derived from dietary intake or secreted from adipose tissue, gut, and liver contribute to energy homeostasis. Recent metabolomic studies identified novel metabolites and enlarged our knowledge on classic metabolites. This review summarizes the evidence of their roles as mediators of interorgan crosstalk and regulators of insulin sensitivity and energy metabolism. Circulating lipids such as free fatty acids, acetate, and palmitoleate from adipose tissue and short-chain fatty acids from the gut effectively act on liver and skeletal muscle. Intracellular lipids such as diacylglycerols and sphingolipids can serve as lipotoxins by directly inhibiting insulin action in muscle and liver. In contrast, fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids have been recently shown to exert a series of beneficial effects. Also, ketoacids are gaining interest as potent modulators of insulin action and mitochondrial function. Finally, branched-chain amino acids not only predict metabolic diseases, but also inhibit insulin signaling. Here, we focus on the metabolic crosstalk in humans, which regulates insulin sensitivity and energy homeostasis in the main insulin-sensitive tissues, skeletal muscle, liver, and adipose tissue.

Abstract
Epoxides of free fatty acids (FFAs), especially epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), are lipid mediators with beneficial effects in metabolic and cardiovascular (CV) health. FFA epoxides are quickly metabolized to biologically less active diols by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH). Inhibition of sEH, which increases EET levels, improves glucose homeostasis and CV health and is proposed as an effective strategy for the treatment of diabetes and CV diseases. Here, we show evidence that sEH activity is profoundly reduced in postprandial states in rats; plasma levels of 17 sEH products (i.e., FFA diols), detected by targeted oxylipin analysis, all decreased after a meal. In addition, the ratios of sEH product to substrate (sEH P/S ratios), which may reflect sEH activity, decreased ~70% on average 2.5 h after a meal in rats (P<.01). To examine whether this effect was mediated by insulin action, a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp was performed for 2.5 h, and sEH P/S ratios were assessed before and after the clamp. The clamp resulted in small increases rather than decreases in sEH P/S ratios (P<.05), indicating that insulin cannot account for the postprandial decrease in sEH P/S ratios. Interestingly, in rats treated with antibiotics to deplete gut bacteria, the postprandial effect to decrease sEH P/S ratios was completely abolished, suggesting that a gut bacteria-derived factor(s) may be responsible for the effect. Further studies are warranted to identify such a factor(s) and elucidate the mechanism by which sEH activity (or sEH P/S ratio) is reduced in postprandial states.

Abstract
Hibernating mammals, like the arctic ground squirrel (AGS), exhibit robust resistance to myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury. Regulated preference for lipid over glucose to fuel metabolism may play an important role. We tested whether providing lipid in an emulsion protects hearts from summer-active AGS better than hearts from Brown Norway (BN) rats against normothermic IR injury. Langendorff-prepared AGS and BN rat hearts were perfused with Krebs solution containing 7.5 mM glucose with or without 1% Intralipid™. After stabilization and cardioplegia, hearts underwent 45-min global ischemia and 60-min reperfusion. Coronary flow, isovolumetric left ventricular pressure, and mitochondrial redox state were measured continuously; infarct size was measured at the end of the experiment. Glucose-only AGS hearts functioned significantly better on reperfusion than BN rat hearts. Intralipid™ administration resulted in additional functional improvement in AGS compared to glucose-only and BN rat hearts. Infarct size was not different among groups. Even under non-hibernating conditions, AGS hearts performed better after IR than the best-protected rat strain. This, however, appears to strongly depend on metabolic fuel: Intralipid™ led to a significant improvement in return of function in AGS, but not in BN rat hearts, suggesting that year-round endogenous mechanisms are involved in myocardial lipid utilization that contributes to improved cardiac performance, independent of the metabolic rate decrease during hibernation. Comparative lipid analysis revealed four candidates as possible cardioprotective lipid groups. The improved function in Intralipid™-perfused AGS hearts also challenges the current paradigm that increased glucose and decreased lipid metabolism are favorable during myocardial IR.

Abstract
Increased dietary fat intake and lipolysis result in excessive lipid availability, which relates to impaired insulin sensitivity. Over the last years, several mechanisms possibly underlying lipid-mediated insulin resistance evolved. Lipid intermediates such as diacylglycerols (DAG) associate with changes in insulin sensitivity in many models. DAG activate novel protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms followed by inhibitory serine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1). Activation of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) raises another lipid class, ceramides (CER), which induce pro-inflammatory pathways and lead to inhibition of Akt phosphorylation. Inhibition of glucosylceramide and ganglioside synthesis results in improved insulin sensitivity and increased activatory tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS1 in the muscle. Incomplete fat oxidation can increase acylcarnitines (ACC), which in turn stimulate pro-inflammatory pathways. This review analyzed the effects of lipid metabolites on insulin action in skeletal muscle of humans and rodents. Despite the evidence for the association of both DAG and CER with insulin resistance, its causal relevance may differ depending on the subcellular localization and the tested cohorts, e.g., athletes. Nevertheless, recent data indicate that individual lipid species and their degree of fatty acid saturation, particularly membrane and cytosolic C18:2 DAG, specifically activate PKCθ and induce both acute lipid-induced and chronic insulin resistance in humans.

Abstract
Metabolic homeostasis is achieved through coordinated regulation across several tissues. Studies using mouse genetic models have shown that perturbation of specific pathways of lipid metabolism in metabolically active tissues impacts systemic metabolic homeostasis. The use of metabolomic technologies combined with genetic models has helped to identify several potential lipid mediators that serve as metabolic messengers to communicate energy status and modulate substrate utilization among tissues. When provided exogenously, these lipid metabolites exhibit biological effects on glucose and lipid metabolism, indicating a therapeutic potential for treating metabolic diseases. In this review we summarize recent advances in inter-organ communication through novel mechanisms, with a focus on lipid mediators synthesized de novo or derived from dietary sources, and discuss challenges and future directions.

Abstract
Laurence Mayrand-Provencher has obtained a Master of Science in Chemistry from Université de Montréal. With over 3 years of experience as a scientist in the bioanalysis industry, he is now a scientist in method development at Algorithme Pharma. His experiences have led him to conduct robust and effective method development of bioanalytical assays, specifically in the LC–MS/MS field. Many regulatory agencies include in their guidelines the need to investigate the effect of lipemic plasma on the reliability of the data as part of a bioanalytical assay validation. Lipids can cause matrix effect, specificity and recovery issues, which can potentially lead to inaccurate data if left unaccounted for. However, finding the appropriate matrix type to be used to perform a lipemic plasma test is a major challenge, as the differences between those commercially available are not well known. The work reported herein describes the differences in lipid content between normal plasma, synthetic lipemic plasma mixes, and two types of natural lipemic plasma. The results obtained show that natural plasma with high triglycerides content should be used to perform a scientifically meaningful lipemic plasma test.

Abstract
Parenteral nutrition (PN) is necessary for infants unable to receive adequate calories enterally due to prematurity, decreased bowel length, or functional intestinal disorders. While PN can be life saving, its use is associated with significant risks of sepsis from catheter-associated infections and progressive liver dysfunction from prolonged use. The preterm infant population is at highest risk for these complications due to the presence of multiple comorbidities and immaturity of the biliary system. Strong data has implicated parenteral lipids in the multifactorial pathogenesis of PN-associated liver disease (PNALD). However, lipids are essential in early infant development, particularly in the neurocognitive development of preterm infants. Substitution of the lipid source from soybean oil to fish oil has emerged as a safe and efficacious treatment of PNALD, with marked improvements in morbidity and mortality. Knowledge of the developmental needs and physiologic limitations of preterm infants is crucial to optimizing parenteral lipid administration to nurture growth, and minimize and treat associated complications. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of lipid requirements of the preterm infant and discuss the role of parenteral lipid emulsions in the management of PNALD and other diseases of prematurity.

Abstract
Parenteral nutrition (PN) can be life saving for infants unable to adequately absorb enteral nutrients due to intestinal failure from inadequate bowel length or function. However, long-term PN carries significant morbidity and mortality, with 30 to 60% of patients developing progressive liver dysfunction. The etiology of PN-associated liver disease (PNALD) is poorly understood, however the involvement of lipid emulsions in its pathogenesis has been clearly established, with new emphasis emerging on the role of omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Recent studies evaluating the use of parenteral fish oil lipid emulsions instead of soybean oil lipid emulsions have demonstrated marked improvements in cholestasis, morbidity, and mortality in patients with PNALD treated with fish oil. This review provides an overview of the role of lipid emulsions in the pathogenesis of PNALD and the proposed mechanisms by which parenteral fish oil lipid emulsions may be exerting their beneficial effects.

Abstract
Infusion of soybean oil-based Intralipid is a major risk factor for parenteral nutrition (PN)–associated cholestasis that often occurs in infants treated with prolonged PN for short bowel syndrome. Parenteral fish oil–based lipid emulsion (Omegaven) has been reported to treat this condition, but it is not readily available in the United States and still requires a central venous catheter for administration. Enteral administration of Microlipid has been shown to decrease ostomy output and facilitate weight gain in infants with enterostomies. We describe 2 premature infants with short bowel syndrome who received early supplementation with enteral Microlipid and fish oil after bowel resection, and became independent of PN without cholestasis.

Abstract
There are special challenges in implementing parenteral nutrition (PN) in paediatric patients, which arises from the wide range of patients, ranging from extremely premature infants up to teenagers weighing up to and over 100 kg, and their varying substrate requirements. Age and maturity-related changes of the metabolism and fluid and nutrient requirements must be taken into consideration along with the clinical situation during which PN is applied. The indication, the procedure as well as the intake of fluid and substrates are very different to that known in PN-practice in adult patients, e.g. the fluid, nutrient and energy needs of premature infants and newborns per kg body weight are markedly higher than of older paediatric and adult patients. Premature infants <35 weeks of pregnancy and most sick term infants usually require full or partial PN. In neonates the actual amount of PN administered must be calculated (not estimated). Enteral nutrition should be gradually introduced and should replace PN as quickly as possible in order to minimise any side-effects from exposure to PN. Inadequate substrate intake in early infancy can cause long-term detrimental effects in terms of metabolic programming of the risk of illness in later life. If energy and nutrient demands in children and adolescents cannot be met through enteral nutrition, partial or total PN should be considered within 7 days or less depending on the nutritional state and clinical conditions.

Abstract
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) is provided directly to human premature infants during parenteral nutrition from the egg yolk fraction of an intravenous fat emulsion. This study aimed to determine whether the high egg yolk phospholipid content of Intralipid 10% (IL 10%, Pharmacia, Uppsala, Sweden) relative to the standard emulsion Intralipid 20% (IL 20%, Pharmacia) could be a strategy to increase the delivery of DHA to the developing brain. Male, Large White piglets were randomly selected from sows 3 d after birth. Piglets were assigned to receive a 9-d continuous intravenous infusion commencing 5 d after birth of either Intralipid (IL) 10%, IL 20%, or Lipofundin S 20% (LFS; B. Braun, Melsungen, Germany). There were four piglets in each treatment group. IL 10% provides twice as much DHA as IL 20%, while LFS provides no DHA. Protein and other nutrients were provided enterally using a low-fat milk formula. After 9 d, animals were killed, and the fatty acid compositions of blood, liver, and cerebral cortex were analyzed. IL 10% infusion approximately doubled the amount of plasma phospholipid DHA (microg/mL of plasma) in comparison to IL 20%. However, red blood cells, liver, and cerebral cortex phospholipid DHA levels were indistinguishable between these two groups. LFS was associated with reduced levels of DHA in plasma, red blood cell and liver phospholipids in comparison to IL 20%. We conclude that infusion of additional phospholipid is an ineffective strategy for increasing DHA delivery to piglet tissues. This may be due to the formation of inert phospholipid particles in plasma. The data do not support the concept of using IL 10% as a means of providing additional DHA to premature human infants.

Abstract
Intravenous lipid emulsions often provide substance for the very low-birth weight or extremely low-birth weight infant that need total parenteral nutrition. The process used in this type of treatment as well as the effects of such treatment are discussed at length in this article. Some of the main compounds of representative lipid emulsions are listed and evaluated and the benefits and consequences of their use are presented.
