Lipid emulsions containing long-chain triglycerides (LCT) and medium chain triglycerides (MCT) are widely used in parenteral nutrition. Recently, fish oil (FO) triglyceride (TG)-derived emulsions are considered therapeutic because of their many beneficial biological modulatory actions. We investigated in mice whether adding 10% FO to an intravenous lipid emulsion with MCT and LCT (MCT:LCT:FO -5...

ITTLE ATTENTION has been paid to the observation of Longimui and Johnsontm that an alimentary lipemia may be responsible for increased fragility of erythrocytes. The possibility that the hemolysis may also occur in vivo is suggested by Loewy, et al.,2 who demonstrated that the output of bile pigment increased in dogs receiving high fat diets. More recently, Creditor3 has observed that hemolysis...

background: energy deficit is a common and serious problem in pediatric intensive care units. parenteral nutrition, either alone or in combination with enteral nutrition, can improve nutrient delivery in critically ill patients by preventing or correcting the energy deficit and improving the outcomes. intralipid 10% and 20% are lipid emulsions, widely used in parenteral nutrition. despite sever...

Pickering emulsions stabilized by polysaccharide particles have attracted extensive research interest in the food, biopharmaceutical and cosmetic industries due to their ability edibility, protect bioactive substances, control release of substances. This paper reviewed progress using natural polysaccharides, modified polysaccharides physical or chemical method complexes as form stabilize emulsi...

PURPOSE Intravenous lipid emulsions have been used to treat the systemic toxicity of local anesthetics. The goal of this in vitro study was to examine the effects of lipid emulsions on the norepinephrine-mediated reversal of vasodilation induced by high doses of levobupivacaine, ropivacaine, and mepivacaine in isolated endothelium-denuded rat aorta, and to determine whether such effects are ass...

In 2 infants who had received Intralipid fat emulsion as part of a total parenteral hyperalimentation regimen, a pigmented material was deposited in the macrophages of their reticuloendothelial systems. The histochemical characteristics of this pigment were similar to those seen after experimental infusion of fat emulsions. The possible implications of this finding and its effect on host resist...

WINKER, J. A. AND W. D. BLOCK. Sensory responses, dietary-induced obesity and biochemical values in Sprague-Dawley rars. BRAIN RES BULL 27(3/4) 535-540, 1991.-Food intake and body weight gain variability in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats exposed to a palatable high-fat diet were examined in relation to sensory responses and biochemical parameters in two experiments. In the first experiment, varying s...

Perfluorocarbon (PFC) emulsions are halogen-substituted carbon nonpolar oils with resultant enhanced dissolved respiratory gas (O(2), N(2), CO(2), nitric oxide) capabilities. In the first demonstration of enhanced O(2) solubility, inhaled PFC could sustain rat metabolism. Intravenous emulsions were then trialed as "blood substitutes." In the last 10 yr, biocomputational modeling has enhanced ou...
