Metabolic effects of intravenous LCT or MCT/LCT lipid emulsions in preterm infants

Metabolic effects of intravenous LCT or MCT/LCT lipid emulsions in preterm infants

Most lipid emulsions for parenteral feeding of premature infants are based on long-chain triacylglycerols (LCTs), but inclusion of medium-chain triacylglycerols (MCTs) might provide a more readily oxidizable energy source. The influence of these emulsions on fatty acid composition and metabolism was...
