An Oligomeric Diet Limits the Response to Injury in Traumatic Brain-Injured Rats

Abstract: Adequate nutritional support is a major challenge in brain injury patients, because malnutrition cannot be reversed by standard enteral nutrition. We hypothesized that an oligomeric formula could improve nutritional status by restoring intestinal trophicity. Eighteen male Sprague-Dawley rats (300-330 g) underwent gastrostomy on day-7 (D-7) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) by hydraulic percussion (D0) and were then fed for 4 days with either a polymeric formula (Sondalis® HP, TBIP, n = 9), or an oligomeric form… Show more

“…They started the nutrition 4 h after TBI with a low flow, to reach the maximum flow at D1. In addition, ∆N or 3-Mhis/creatinine ratio were not measured in some key papers [29]. Our data, however, highlight differences in profiles between the three models: the LPS and TBI models presented a more marked myofibrillar catabolism on D2 than did TBI-Ec.…”

“…For instance, in an animal TBI study, oligonucleotide-based therapies produced some promising results. Oligomeric diets demonstrated potential benefits in rat models of TBI, preventing TBI-induced weight loss and thymus atrophy and, by extension, averting immune dysfunction [52].…”

“…Moinard et al [63] evaluated the role of a 100% WHP semi-elemental formula compared with the standard polymeric formula among rats with traumatic brain injury. The authors reported an improvement in glutamine concentration among rats receiving a 100% WHP formula, suggesting that the use of a semi-elemental formula may limit response to injury after suffering a traumatic brain injury [63] .…”
