Summary
Fish oil is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, especially eicosapentanoic acid and
docosahexaenoic acid, and it is not used widely in parenteral nutrition because fish oil
emulsions have not been commercially available until very recently. The Objective of this
study is to to evaluate the effect on blood lipid profiles of omega-3 enriched total
parenteral nutrition in healthy Korean male subjects. This study is designed as a randomized,
open-label, 2-treatment, 2-way crossover trial. Blood samples will be collected every 1 hour
from 0 to 12 hours after starting an intravenous infusion for triglyceride, glucose, and
insulin.
