Energy expenditure was determined in male Fischer 344 rats (235-246 g) fed by intravenous (IV) or intragastric (IG) infusion with total parenteral nutrition solutions providing 65% of nonprotein energy as fat from long-chain triglyceride (LCT) or a 3:1 admixture of medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) and LCT emulsions. Respiratory gas exchange and somatomotor activity were assessed continuously for 24 h during d 5 and 11 of infusion feeding. The MCT infusion resulted in one-third the weight gain noted with LCT infusion (MCT, 10 +/- 2 g/14 d; LCT, 32 +/- 4 g/14 d; P less than 0.0001). Insulin concentration was 60% higher with IV than with IG infusion and approximately 100% higher with IV-MCT than with IG-MCT or LCT infusion (P less than 0.05). Rats receiving IV infusion of MCT displayed similar levels of motor activity but 8-13% greater daily energy expenditure (kJ.kg-0.75.kJ intake-1) than rats receiving IG-MCT or LCT infusion (P less than 0.05). The MCT infusion also resulted in an elevation in respiratory quotient after cessation of nutrient infusion (MCT, 0.87-0.92; LCT, 0.83-0.85; P less than 0.05). Total and resting energy expenditure decreased approximately 13% from 5 to 11 d of infusion feeding. The lower weight gain and greater energy expenditure seen with MCT- compared with LCT-supplemented total parenteral nutrition may be mediated by higher insulin concentrations.

D010101 Oxygen Consumption The rate at which oxygen is used by a tissue; microliters of oxygen STPD used per milligram of tissue per hour; the rate at which oxygen enters the blood from alveolar gas, equal in the steady state to the consumption of oxygen by tissue metabolism throughout the body.

D010289 Parenteral Nutrition, Total The delivery of nutrients for assimilation and utilization by a patient whose sole source of nutrients is via solutions administered intravenously, subcutaneously, or by some other non-alimentary route. The basic components of TPN solutions are protein hydrolysates or free amino acid mixtures, monosaccharides, and electrolytes. Components are selected for their ability to reverse catabolism, promote anabolism, and build structural proteins.
