Parenteral Nutrition

Experimental and Clinical Studies with Fat Emulsion for Intravenous Nutrition

“…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].…”

Nutrition Research from Respiration and Vitamins to Cholesterol and Atherosclerosis

“…Over the course of the next several years a total of 38 research and review papers in this area came from our laboratories. Our last paper on this subject, published in 1960, was by Dr. Geyer (6). In it, Dr. Geyer concluded, "Although oral feeding is still to be preferred wherever possible, parenteral nutrition has achieved a permanent place in both therapeutic and experimental applica tions.…”

“…This response was independent of the effects induced by dietary fat. 6. In view of these results we proposed that the most effective practical diets for lowering serum cholesterol should be those relatively high in total fat with a small proportion of myristic and palmitic acids, particularly myris tic acid, a high proportion of polyunsaturated acids, and a small amount of cholesterol.…”

The Theoretical Background of the Intravenous Nutrition with Fat Emulsions

“…The first serious experim ents w ith a com plete p arenteral nutrition were des cribed by Schott in G erm any (76) in 1913. Still earlier experim ents on this line are described in review articles (21,28).…”
