Parenteral MCT/ω‐3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid–Enriched Intravenous Fat Emulsion Is Associated With Cytokine and Fatty Acid Profiles Consistent With Attenuated Inflammatory Response in Preterm Neonates

Background: Soybean oil–based intravenous fat emulsion (IVFE) administered to preterm neonates can induce oxidative stress and inflammatory response, which are associated with severe complications of prematurity. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that administration of medium‐chain triglyceride (MCT)/ω‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)–enriched IVFE in preterm neonates is associated with a cytokine and fatty acid (FA) profile consistent...
