PROSTAGLANDINS LEUKOTRIENES AND ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS, cilt.73, sa.2, ss.99-102, 2005 (SCI-Expanded)
Objective: Increased oxygen-derived free radical activity has been reported during total parenteral nutrition (TPN) in infants particularly linked to the fat infusion. It is possible that partial enteral feeding can ameliorate some of the complications of TPN. By this study we aimed to investigate free radical formation and antioxidant activity in term and preterm infants during TPN and/or enteral feeding.
