The effect on energy metabolism and fuel utilization of increasing energy intake by adding intravenous lipid to a glucose and amino acid regimen was examined. Twenty full-term, appropriate-for-gestational-age, intravenously fed neonates were entered into one of two groups: total energy intake was 261 kJ.kg-1.d-1 (62 kcal kg-1.d-1) in group 1 and 355 kJ.kg-1.d-1 (85 kcal kg-1.d-1) in group 2. Both groups received 2.8 g protein kg-1.d-1 and 14 g glucose kg-1.d-1. Group 2 received an additional 2 g lipid.kg-1.d-1. Metabolic rate, respiratory gas exchange, and nonprotein substrate oxidation were similar in both groups. The addition of energy as lipid enhanced nitrogen retention (230 vs 306 mg.kg-1.d-1; P < 0.02) and utilization (52.8% vs 66.5%; P < 0.03). Our data suggest that nitrogen utilization is improved in parenterally fed neonates by adding fat and increasing energy intake without change in metabolic rate, carbon dioxide production, oxygen consumption, and nonprotein substrate utilization. Energy expenditure does not necessarily increase with increasing energy intake independently of diet composition.
