Lipid-enriched and protein-enriched enteral nutrition limits inflammation in a human endotoxemia model

Enteral administration of lipid-enriched nutrition was previously shown to attenuate inflammation and organ damage via a cholecystokinin-mediated vagovagal reflex in animal studies. The current proof-of-principle study investigates the immunomodulatory potential of enteral lipid-enriched and protein-enriched nutrition during experimental human endotoxemia.
