Influence of Vitamins, Trace Elements, and Iron on Lipid Peroxidation Reactions in All-in-One Admixtures for Neonatal Parenteral Nutrition

摘要

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of vitamins, trace elements, or iron on lipid peroxidation in all-in-one parenteral nutrition (PN) admixtures for preterm neonates. Methods: Malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations were analyzed over a 24-hour period (H1-H24) in lipid-containing PN solutions that have a composition identical to that used in the routine clinical care of preterm infants. Six different solutions were prepared and evaluated when exposed to ambient light and light-protected conditions as follows: control (without vitamins [Vit], trace elements [TE], or iron [Fe] [Vit?TE?Fe?]), solution 1 (Vit+TE+Fe?), solution 2 (Vit+TE?Fe?), solution 3 (Vit?TE+Fe?), solution 4 (Vit?TE?Fe+), and solution 5 (Vit+TE+Fe+). Results: MDA concentrations in PN solutions were significantly higher at H24 than at H0 when they contained multivitamins (P P = .002), or iron saccharate (P = .018). MDA concentration was particularly high when all 3 micronutrients were present (P P P Conclusions: The addition of vitamins and trace elements to PN solutions induces a significant increase in peroxidation products, which are lowered when admixtures are protected from light. Iron should not be included in these solutions, even if solutions are light-protected. By following these conditions it is possible to use all-in-one admixtures in the nutrition management of preterm infants.
