Studies on the lipid emulsion for total parenteral nutrition (TPN) for the premature human infant are limited. We investigated the effects of modifying the fatty acid composition of TPN on the growth and development of the preterm piglet.Piglets delivered by Caesarean section on day 112 of gestation (term = 115 days) received an enteral diet (E: n=6) or TPN solution plus Intralipid (54% 18:2, 25% 18:1; I: n=6) or ClinOleic (17% 18:2, 65% 18:1; C: n=6) fo...
