Liver Disease, Systemic Inflammation, and Growth Using a Mixed Parenteral Lipid Emulsion, Containing Soybean Oil, Fish Oil, and Medium Chain Triglycerides, Compared With Soybean Oil in Parenteral Nutrition–Fed Neonatal Piglets

“…24 However, this remains controversial, and there is some clinical evidence that MCTs do not enhance growth and may be an inefficient fuel source. 25 However, given the confounding effect of baseline differences in total body weights and the small difference in PN delivery, the increased liver and small bowel weights observed in the ML group are not further discussed.…”

Newborn Screening for Cystic Fibrosis

“…Infants with CF will benefit greatly from early identification of pancreatic insufficiency [45,63] and with new, simplified, validated methods for classification available [64,65], aggressive nutritional management, including PERT (as needed), vitamin, and salt supplementation, is essential. Although the choice of formula or breast milk is probably inconsequential [66][67][68], breast-fed babies may require additional supplements.

En cas d'inconfort digestif ou de diarrhée malgré la prise des extraits pancréatiques on peut également utiliser, certains même le font d'emblée, un hydrolysat de protéines enrichi en triglycérides à chaînes moyennes.…”
