Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Improved fatty acid and leukotriene pattern with a novel lipid emulsion in surgical patients.
We assessed the effects of a novel lipid emulsion with reduced content of n-6 fatty acids (FA), increased share of MUFA and n-3 FA and supplemental vitamin E on fatty acid and leukotriene pattern in surgical patients. ⋯ Treatment with the new emulsion SMOFlipid is well tolerated and modulates FA and leukotriene pattern suggesting favourable anti-inflammatory effects and further clinical benefits.
