J. Linseisen et G. Wolfram, ODD-NUMBERED MEDIUM-CHAIN TRIGLYCERIDES(TRINONANOIN)IN TOTAL PARENTERAL-NUTRITION - PARAMETERS OF CARBOHYDRATE AND PROTEIN-METABOLISM, Annals of nutrition & metabolism, 37(6), 1993, pp. 320-327
To investigate the metabolic effects of intravenously administered odd
-numbered medium-chain triglycerides in healthy non-stressed animals,
trinonanoin/long-chain triglyceride (LCT) (7/3) fat emulsions were giv
en in a high dose (46.5% energy) to rabbits (n = 8) for 11 days within
a total parenteral nutrition regimen. In comparison with medium-chain
triglyceride (MCT)/LCT fat emulsions, higher plasma glucose (day 4),
plasma lactate and pyruvate (day 11) and liver glycogen concentrations
were found for the test group, indicating a glucogenic effect of the
trinonanoin/LCT emulsion. With the present study design, nitrogen bala
nce of the rabbits was not significantly influenced by the kind of fat
emulsion administered.
