    Abstract:
    During total parenteral nutrition, using an identical supply of fat emulsion (350 mg/kg/24 hr) to correct essential fatty acid deficiency in children, the efficacy of two methods of administration was studied: continuous over 24 hr, or discontinuous 3 hr/day. At the beginning of the study, all the infants (1-4 months old) had proven essential fatty acid deficiency. After at least 1 month of one of the two nutritional protocols (continuous or discontinuous), plasma phospholipid fatty acid composition and PGE1 and PGE2 urinary excretion were measured. The results obtained indicate better utilization of the fat emulsion when it is administered almost every day, in continuous infusion over 24 hr (1 g/kg/24 hr of Intralipid 20%).
