The Journal of Nutrition Influence of Diet on Infection and Allergy in Infants The Impact of Enteral Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 and Nutrition on Gut Permeability and Amino Acid Utilization

چکیده
The intestine serves numerous purposes. In addition to digestion and absorption, the intestine functions as an organ that provides specific and nonspecific protection against pathological bacteria and noxious agents. At birth, and certainly when birth occurs prematurely, these functions are not yet fully developed. This article addresses the specific needs of the neonatal gut to perform these functions adequately and describes efforts to modulate intestinal barrier function by preterm formula supplemented with insulin-like growth factor 1. J. Nutr. 138: 1829S–1833S, 2008.

متن کاملEffect of Dietary Protein Sources on Lamb’s Performance: A Review
Protein and energy are the two major components of feed that influence performance of the growing and fattening lambs. Provision of the quality of protein in the lamb’s diet does not only improve the animal performance but also ensures profitable animal production. Different vegetable protein sources are used to formulate the rations for growing and fattening lambs. These protein sources differ...

nflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), has become one of the most common chronic conditions all over the world. The prevalence of IBD is growing rapidlyin developing countries along with nutrition transition. IBD affects children as well as adults, with 15-20% of patients being diagnosed during childhood.

متن کاملModification of enteral diets in inflammatory bowel disease.
The provision of food is thought to promote the maintenance of gut integrity. Nutrients are able to elicit and affect both systemic and mucosal immune responses. Enteral diet therapy has long been known to be efficacious in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), particularly in childhood Crohn's disease. However, the mechanisms of action of these diets are not clear. Nutritional repletion, direct ef...
متن کاملProvision of Amniotic Fluid During Parenteral Nutrition Increases Weight Gain With Limited Effects on Gut Structure, Function, Immunity, and Microbiology in Newborn Preterm Pigs.
BACKGROUND Small enteral boluses with human milk may reduce the risk of subsequent feeding intolerance and necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm infants receiving parenteral nutrition (PN). We hypothesized that feeding amniotic fluid, the natural enteral diet of the mammalian fetus, will have similar effects and improve growth and gastrointestinal (GI) maturation in preterm neonates receiving PN...
