Study Notes
Future Directions and Research Needs
- Different carbohydrates have distinct effects on blood glucose, insulin response, malabsorption, dysbiosis, and endotoxemia.
- Oat fiber and isomaltooligosaccharide may have positive outcomes, but their omission from formulas could lead to:
- Intercurrent hyperglycemic spikes
- Impaired oxidative stress and sepsis
- Impaired healing and gut function
Comparison with Isocaloric Doubly Labeled Water-Derived Protein and Energy Intake
- It would be interesting to investigate if differences between standard and specialized enteral formulas persist when:
- Protein and lipid amounts are equal
- Isocaloric contents are maintained
Definition of Patient Subsets for Specialized Enteral Formula
- Low-carbohydrate, high-protein, high-fat enteral formulas should not be used solely for:
- High caloric density
- Immediate post-operative patients
- These formulas require evaluation in clinical trials to identify patient subsets that can benefit the most.
- Objectives to address in various patient populations:
- Reduce inflammation and muscle mass loss in chronic critically ill patients
- Counteract metabolic rate increase, muscle mass loss, and biochemical derangement in energy-restricted obese patients on low-caloric diets
