Open accessAbstract
Background Food in the intestine drives the enterohepatic circulation of bile components.Objective We investigated whether parenteral or enteral delivery of nutrients alters serum and biliary lipids in critically ill patients.Design Eight intensive care unit (ICU) patients who had received >/= 5 d of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) were compared with 8 ICU patients who had fasted for >/=5 d. Both groups were studied before and after 5 d of enteral nutrition (EN). Each patient served as his or her own control. Duodenal bile was analyzed for biliary lipid content and serum lipids were determined simultaneously. Duodenal bile samples from 18 healthy persons served as controls.Results Bile salt concentrations in all ICU patients were 17% of control values before EN (P < 0.005) and 34% of control values after 5 d of EN (P < 0.005). Phospholipid concentrations were 12% of control before EN (P < 0. 0005) but increased almost 4-fold after EN (P < 0.0005). Biliary cholesterol concentrations were 20% of control values before EN (P < 0.001) and did not improve afterward. No difference in bile composition was observed between fasted ICU patients and those who received TPN. The inverse correlation between the severity of illness and biliary lipid concentrations observed before EN disappeared with enteric stimulation. The low serum concentrations of HDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein A-I increased significantly with EN in all ICU patients.Conclusion Lack of EN during critical illness was associated with profound decrements in biliary lipid concentrations that normalized partially after 5 d of EN. We hypothesize that loss of enteric stimulation in ICU patients impairs hepatic lipid metabolism.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
