Background: Acute lung injury (ALI) is the most common presentation of sepsis-associated multiple organ failure, characterized by increased alveolar cytokines and inflammatory cell infiltration. Arachidonic acid gives rise to the eicosanoid family of inflammatory mediators and through these regulates activities of inflammatory cells and production of cytokines. Lipid emulsions are used as supplement of parenteral nutrition in intensive care units. Clinoleic®, a new lipid emulsion, was developed to reduce arachidonic acid available, which might reduce inflammatory responses. We investigated impact of two differen…
