A high calorie liquid diet, consisting primarily of a 40 per cent fat emulsion, was administered as the sole source of feeding to six patients with fracture of the mandible.
While ingesting 400 Gm. of fat, 70 Gm. of protein, and 122 Gm. of carbohydrate, an increase in weight and marked positive nitrogen balance was noted in all subjects. Fecal fat excretion increased 7.68 Gm. above the control level as a maximum.
No consistent changes occurred in fasting blood levels of total or neutral fat, phospholipid, cholesterol, serum total protein or A/G ratio, N.P.N., fasting blood sugar, or CO2 content.
