The Theoretical Background of the Intravenous Nutrition with Fat Emulsions

Experimental and Clinical Studies with Fat Emulsion for Intravenous Nutrition

“…Soybean oil contains more linoleic acid and less satu rated fa tty acids than cottonseed oil [21,62]. Soybean oil contains also linolenic acid, which is not found in cottonseed oil [21,62]. This p aper will tre a t m ainly of the experiences gained w ith the soybean-oil-egg-yolk phosphatide em ulsion (Table I) and the com parisons m ade betw een this emulsion and some cottonseed oil em ul sions.…”

“…The fa tty acid composition of th e two oils is shown in Figure 1. Soybean oil contains more linoleic acid and less satu rated fa tty acids than cottonseed oil [21,62]. Soybean oil contains also linolenic acid, which is not found in cottonseed oil [21,62].…”

“…Reviews of intravenous fa t em ulsions have been published by Gayer [24], Edgren and Wretlind [21], Schuberth and Wretlind [68], Schon and Zeller [64] and Wretlind [79]. Papers dealing w ith recent experim ental and clinical research in the field of intravenous fat em ulsions are published in the American Journal of Clinical N utrition 1965 [4].…”

Prevention of parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease: role of ω-3 fish oil

“…Intravenous lipid emulsions were first introduced in Europe approximately 40 years ago to provide a calorically dense source of nonprotein calories and prevent essential fatty acid deficiency (EFAD) [12][13][14]. Lipid emulsions provide what have traditionally been known as the two essential fatty acids, linoleic acid and a-linolenic acid (ALA), which are important precursors of eicosanoids and prostaglandins [15] (Fig.…”

Fat emulsions for complete intravenous nutrition

“…Several reviews of intravenous fat emulsions have been published (Geyer, 1960;Schuberth & Wretlind, 1961;Schoin & Zeller, 1962;Edgren & Wretlind, 1963;Wretlind, 1964a). Papers dealing with recent experimental and clinical research in the field of intravenous fat emulsions were published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 1965.…”
