Does dietary walnut oil modulate liver steatosis in the obese Zucker rat?
In our model, consumption of W14 inhibited hepatic lipid accumulation along with modulated hepatic gene expression implicated in hepatic fatty acid influx or lipoprotein assembly. These results provide first indication that dietary lipids from walnut oil are modulators of hepatic steatosis as the initial step of progressive NAFLD pathogenesis.
Introduction of a detailed feeding algorithm resulted in earlier commencement of nutrition support and increased numbers of patients reaching goal rates in less time. To improve nutritional adequacy, the algorithm needs to be modified to account for unavoidable interruptions during ICU stay.
