Effect on Blood Chemistry and Inflammatory Marker of Omega-3 Enriched Total Parenteral Nutrition

Summary

Fish oil is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, especially eicosapentanoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, and it is not used widely in parenteral nutrition because fish oil emulsions have not been commercially available until very recently. The Objective of this study is to to evaluate the effect on blood lipid profiles of omega-3 enriched total parenteral nutrition in healthy Korean male subjects. This study is designed as a randomized, open-label, 2-treatment, 2-way crossover trial. Blood samples will be collected every 1 hour from 0 to 12 hours after starting an intravenous infusion for triglyceride, glucose, and insulin.
