Brief Summary:
Randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial to evaluate the effect of parenteral nutrition (PN) supplemented with lipid emulsions containing 0.1-0.2 g omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA)/kg body weight/day for 7 days on malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, a marker of lipoperoxidation of reactive species, compared with a control group (without n-3 PUFA) in patients with intestinal failure (IF).
Detailed Description:
IF is the loss of intestinal function that affects the decrease in the absorption of macronutrients, water, and electrolytes, so it requires intravenous supplementation such as PN and/or intravenous fluids to maintain health and/or growth. IF type II is associated with complex infectious and metabolic complications and patients require PN for weeks or months. Long-term PN use, however, includes the risk of complications, among which a serious one is the intestinal failure-associated liver disease (1). It has been proposed that metabolic endotoxemia (2-3), inflammation (4) and oxidative stress (5) are involved in the development of this intestinal failure-associated liver disease.
Although some studies have reported beneficial effects of n-3 PUFA to prevent and reverse the liver disease associated with IF (6-7), due to its antioxidant (8-10) and anti-inflammatory activity (11-12) and in the modulation of the intestinal microbiota (13), the literature on the use of n-3 PUFA in non-critical patients with IF and PN is limited and the results have not been conclusive.
Therefore, a randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial to evaluate the effect of PN supplemented with lipid emulsions containing n-3 PUFA/kg body weight/day for 7 days on oxidative stress (concentrations of MDA), compared with a control group (without n-3 PUFA) will be performed.
