Threonine requirement of parenterally fed postsurgical human neonates.
BACKGROUND The threonine requirement of human neonates who receive parenteral nutrition (PN) has not been determined experimentally. OBJECTIVE The objective was to determine the parenteral threonine requirement for human neonates by using the minimally invasive indicator amino acid oxidation technique with L-[1-(13)C]phenylalanine as the indicator amino acid. DESIGN Nine postsurgical neonat...
متن کاملPlasma amino acid concentrations in parenterally fed preterm infants.
One hundred and nine sick preterm infants were studied, and the data obtained show that hyperphenylalaninaemia is an extremely rare occurrence as long as an adequate source of energy is provided. High concentrations of the other aromatic amino acid (tyrosine) on the other hand, were often encountered and seem to be due to immaturity of an isolated hepatic enzyme as there was no correlation betw...
متن کاملPathogenesis of hepatic steatosis in the parenterally fed rat.
Hepatic steatosis frequently complicates total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Some of the mechanisms responsible were examined in rats receiving calories as dextrose (CHO-TPN) or dextrose plus lipid emulsion (Lipid-TPN). Hepatic triglyceride content increased approximately threefold after CHO-TPN and twofold after Lipid-TPN (P less than 0.02). Hepatic triglyceride fatty acid composition reflected ...
متن کاملThreonine requirement of slow-growing male chickens depends on age and dietary efficiency of threonine utilization.
Nitrogen-balance experiments were conducted with a total of 288 male chickens to assess Thr requirement data on 2 commercial slow-growing genotypes (I 657 and Red JA from Hubbard ISA) by use of a modeling procedure described previously. Six graded levels of dietary protein supply from high-protein soybeanmeal were used within 4 age periods (period I: 10 to 25 d; period II: 30 to 45 d; period II...
متن کاملPlasma fibronectin concentrations in breast fed and formula fed neonates.
Plasma fibronectin concentration was measured in neonates of 2 to 5 days of age. Although breast fed and formula fed infants were similar in demographic characteristics, the mean (SD) plasma concentration of fibronectin in 26 breast fed infants, 237 (117) mg/l, was significantly higher than in 27 formula fed infants (171 (91) mg/l). Fibronectin was detected in five colostrum specimens (mean con...
