Journal ArticleDOI
Arachidonic acid status correlates with first year growth in preterm infants.
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that dietary Ach could improve first year growth of preterm infants and contribute to growth over the first year of life on the strength of the relationship between Ach status and growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
First year growth of preterm infants fed standard compared to marine oil n-3 supplemented formula.
TL;DR: Very low birth weight infants were randomly assigned to receive control or marine oil-supplemented formula when they achieved intakes >454 kJ/kg/d of a formula designed for VLBW infants, and birth order and maternal height influenced weight and length achievement in infancy as shown previously in infants born at term.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term feeding of formulas high in linolenic acid and marine oil to very low birth weight infants: phospholipid fatty acids.

TL;DR: It is concluded that AA and DHA decline in RBC and plasma phospholipids of preterm infants when only their n-6 and n-3 fatty acid precursors are consumed and marine oil can maintain cord concentrations of RBC phosphatidylethanolamine DHA but further reduces AA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of vegetable and marine oils in preterm infant formulas on blood arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acids.
TL;DR: Adding docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to formulas is more effective than increasing formula alpha-linolenic Acid (18:3n-3) in maintaining blood phospholipid DHA levels similar to those in breast-fed infants, however, in long-term trials supplementary DHA given as marine oil reduces blood phosphoipid arachidonic acid (AA) in preterm infants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of taurine supplementation on hepatic function during short-term parenteral nutrition in the premature infant
TL;DR: The results indicate the rapid maturation of hepatic function even in the presence of parenteral nutrition during the first 10 days of life, indicating the potential role of taurine deficiency in the pathogenesis of p Karenteral Nutrition-induced cholestasis.
