The antiinflammatory properties of long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFA) attracted attention for preventing IFALD. However, the relative impact and mechanisms of this approach have not been fully established yet, as required for recommending general use of n-3 LC-PUFA containing PN solutions in SBS patients. Objectives: A prospective pilot study was performed in adult IFALD-free SBS patients to investigate the effects of n-…
