    Journal: Aliment Pharmacol Ther; 2005 Feb 15; 21(4):445-54. PubMed ID: 15709996.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: The most frequently used intravenous lipid emulsions are composed of 100% long chain triacylglycerols from soybean oil or of 50% long chain triacylglycerols-50% medium chain triacylglycerols. A newer emulsion, ClinOleic 20% containing 80% olive oil and 20% soybean oil, was suggested to reduce lipid peroxidation and immune function impairment. AIM: To assess ClinOleic 20%'s efficacy, safety and effect upon systemic inflammatory parameters in adults on home parenteral nutrition. METHODS: In stable home parenteral nutrition patients, the initial intravenous lipid emulsion was changed for ClinOleic 20%. Nutritional status, clinical and biological tolerance, and systemic inflammatory markers were analysed before and after 1 and 3 months of home parenteral nutrition, with ClinOleic 20% as intravenous lipid emulsion. RESULTS: Clinical and biological nutritional markers and inflammatory parameters did not differ between day 0 and month +3. There was no essential fatty acids deficiency. No side-effects were reported. Three of five patients presenting with migraine during home parenteral nutrition infusion at day 0 felt consistently better at month +3. CONCLUSIONS: ClinOleic 20% is safe and efficient in adult home parenteral nutrition. It maintains normal essential fatty acids status and did not influence inflammatory parameters. In contrast to studies in preterm infants or paediatric patients, no effect on vitamin E concentration or lipid peroxidation was observed.
