[Potential for using a protein-based enteral feeding formula as nutrient mixtures in transintestinal nutrition]

Chronic experiments on semi-fistula dogs with temporal-isolated parts of the small bowel were made to study the rate of nitrogen, glucose, lipid, sodium, potassium, calcium and water absorption from protein enteral nutrition and nutritive mixtures prepared on its basis. It was established that a nutritive mixture based on 10% protein enteral nutrition with additives in the form of fatty emulsion and sodium chloride was quite suitable for transintestinal administration. The increase of the concentration of protein enteral nutrition administered transintestinally or its preliminary hydrolysis by gastric juice resulted in the enhancement of evacuatory function of the small bowel.
