The Use of ORAL FAT PREPARATIONS in Medicine

ARTHUR GROLLMAN M.D., PH.D., F.A.C.P.1

1 From the Department of Experimental Medicine, Southwestern Medical School, University of Texas, Dallas, Tex.

Fat is an important constituent of the diet. Its uniquely high caloric value renders it an ideal substance for supplying in a ready assimilable liquid form an adequate amount of calories which permits optimal utilization of protein. The commercially available emulsions of fat and carbohydrate have been used to advantage in a variety of clinical conditions: acute renal failure, burns, surgical conditions requiring a liquid diet, tuberculosis, poliomyelitis, etc. They are also effective when used as supplementary feedings in underweight or malnourished individuals and are useful in experimental laboratory or clinical studies in which a diet of known composition and high caloric value is desired.
