OBJECTIVE To measure gastrointestinal hormonal response (GHR) with minimal enteral feeding (MEF) in sick premature infants. METHODS Forty-one babies birth weight < 1800 g receiving total parenteral nutrition or intravenous solutions entered the study. They were distributed in two groups: group I: 26 infants (early enteral feeding < or = 5 d) and group II = 15 infants (late enteral feeding = 10-14 d). A diluted special formula was used as MEF starting with 1 mL hourly with daily increments of 1 mL up to 120 mL. Basal and final determinations of GHR were done before and after the MEF. RESULTS Both groups were similar in birth weight, postnatal age, and trophism. There were intragroup differences between basal and final GHR for all hormones in both groups. Subgroups by gestational age (< or = 32 vs > 32 weeks) and trophism (< or = 1250 vs > 1250 g) also showed basal-final differences. There were no complications related to the MEF. CONCLUSIONS MEF favors secretion of gastrointestinal hormones in sick premature infants. Early MEF seems to be preferable to late one since it allows a faster secretion related to volume of the formula. MEF did not increase abdominal complications in our infants.

D009037 Motilin A peptide of about 22-amino acids isolated from the DUODENUM. At low pH it inhibits gastric motor activity, whereas at high pH it has a stimulating effect.
D009496 Neurotensin A biologically active tridecapeptide isolated from the hypothalamus. It has been shown to induce hypotension in the rat, to stimulate contraction of guinea pig ileum and rat uterus, and to cause relaxation of rat duodenum. There is also evidence that it acts as both a peripheral and a central nervous system neurotransmitter.
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.
