Cereal Chem. 66(4):263-267 Emulsifying capacity and emulsion stability of hexane-defatted corn content; 70.39% water was retained by the emulsion. High emulsion germ protein obtained by modified and conventional extraction processes stability was obtained as the result of specific protein properties. Increasing were studied. Defatted corn germ protein obtained by the modified fat content in emu...

Abstract This review discusses the application of oleogel technology in emulsified systems. In these systems mimetic fats, water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsions can be obtained, but, here, we cover with an oil continuous phase detail. Depending on percentage water added to oleogels, different textures and rheological properties developed. These are affected by characteristics concentration com...

Lipids have multiple physiological roles that are biologically vital. Soybean oil lipid emulsions have been the mainstay of parenteral nutrition lipid formulations for decades in North America. Utilizing intravenous lipid emulsions in parenteral nutrition has minimized the dependence on dextrose as a major source of nonprotein calories and prevents the clinical consequences of essential fatty a...

For the past 50 years, local anesthetics such as lidocaine have been commonly used in various clinical settings. Its use is not just limited to anesthesia and surgery but is also frequently utilized in internal medicine and in primary care setting for bedside procedures. Despite its widespread use, most physicians are not familiar with the life-threatening manifestations of lidocaine toxicity a...

With advancements in the care of preterm infants, the goals in nutritional care have expanded from survival and mimicking fetal growth to optimizing neurodevelopmental outcomes. Inadequate nutritional support may be a risk factor for major complications of prematurity; conversely, higher disease burden is a risk for growth restriction. Early complete parenteral nutrition support, including intr...

Using two-dimensional echocardiography, pulmonary vascular resistance was estimated from right ventricular pre-ejection period to ejection time (RVPEP/ET) in 11 preterm infants with respiratory distress, to test the effect of different doses of continuous lipid infusion. Echocardiography was performed at baseline with no lipid infusing 2 and 24 hours after 1.5 and 3 g/kg/day of intravenous lipi...

In preterm infants, both hypo- and hyperglycemia are a frequent problem. Intravenous lipids can affect glucose metabolism by stimulation of gluconeogenesis by providing glycerol, which is a gluconeogenic precursor, and/or free fatty acids (FFA), which are stimulants of the rate of gluconeogenesis. In 25 preterm infants, glucose production and gluconeogenesis were measured using stable isotope t...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to highlight the use of combined intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE) and plasma exchange (PE) therapies in multidrug toxicity. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION A 45-year-old woman who attempted suicide by ingesting large quantities of amisulpride (28 g), diazepam (250 mg), valsartan (2,240 mg), aripiprazole (45 mg) and paliperidone (21 mg) was taken to t...

We present a case of refractory cardiogenic shock secondary to sustained release diltiazem poisoning.  Intravenous lipid emulsion therapy was initiated approximately 13 hours after ingestion. Vasopressors were weaned off hours after initiation of intravenous lipid emulsion therapy and the patient went on to make a full recovery.  This report adds to the paucity of data on intravenous lipid emul...

Background. Intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE) is recommended as a "rescue" treatment for local anaesthetic (LA) toxicity. A purported mechanism of action suggests that lipophilic LAs are sequestered into an intravascular "lipid-sink," thus reducing free drug concentration. There is limited data available correlating the effects of ILE on LAs. Aims. To compare the in vitro effect of ILE on LA con...
