Abstract
Plasma glucose, FFA, IRI, IRPG, and STH levels were determined in the equilibrum period in average 20 days after initiation of nutritional therapy. 11 children on TPN and 9 on CREN were studied. Results: 1/The parameters studied remained stable during the investigation 2/ there were no significant differences between the parenteral and enteral introduction of nutritional substrates.
Conclusion: These results suggest that the prolonged constant rate administration of the nutrients leads to a new hormonal equilibrium stable and characteristed by 1/The absence of increase in STH levels 2/the adaptation of biohormonal pancreatic secretion which provides a perfect homeostasis of carbohydrate metabolism, an inhibition of lipolysis as evidenced by the low FFA levels and the utilisation of aminoacids for anabolic needs.
