Study Notes

Outcomes of Interest

Clinical conditions such as stroke, head trauma, neurological trauma, or patients considering bariatric surgeries require balanced nutrition for recovery and to prevent complications.
Two basic formulas are used for enteral nutrition.
A retrospective data analysis of 590 individuals revealed the success of high-fat, low-carb, and high-protein enteral diet formulas in terms of basic nutritional elements and cost-effectiveness.
The results supported improved metabolism and reduced blood glucose levels.
Formulated nutritional intervention for individuals in postoperative rehab, metabolic improvement, and those unable to consume a balanced diet of natural nutrients is more efficient.

Nutritional Outcomes

Reducing carbohydrates, especially from refined flours and sugars, combined with an increase in proteins and complex carbohydrates from the SOUTENF formula, is a good therapeutic option in chronic metabolic diseases.
Reducing carbohydrates benefits the lipid profile by reducing VLDL, total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides, with a reduction in metabolic acidosis and increased beta-oxidation of free fatty acids as an energy source.
Increasing the consumption of PUFA improves the LDL profile and apoproteins, and modifies the formation of leukotrienes and prostanoids, which allows improving the inflammatory capacity at the pulmonary level and diminishes the level of inflammation and oxidative stress in systemic conditions.

Clinical Outcomes

Cachexia is inherently linked to malnutrition, and the prevention and treatment of both have a common basis.
Concomitant administration of two dietary components that prevent the development of cachexia/muscle loss and malnutrition seems to be a rational solution to this complex problem.
High-fat, low-carbohydrate, high-protein enteral nutritional formulas can provide protective beneficial effects with much lower fat content than ketogenic diets.
These formulas do not require the same amount of tolerance for survival as ketogenic diets.
