title: [Intraindividual comparison of the elimination kinetics of Lipofundin S and Intralipid in consecutive lipid tolerance tests].
abstract: Two intravenous fat tolerance tests (IVFTT) were performed in 16 healthy volunteers and 8 patients suffering from hypertriglyceridemia (HTG). We compared Lipofundin S (Braun, Melsungen) with Intralipid (Kabi Vitrum, Stockholm), using both 10- and 20% concentrations. Time intervals between the tests were 1 h for the volunteers and 2 h for the patients with HTG, respectively. Fractional elimination rates were obtained from light scattering intensity of serum samples. They were significantly higher for Lipofundin S (9.61%/min for healthy men and 12.48%/min for healthy women) compared to Intralipid (7.09%/min for healthy men and 9.41%/min for healthy women). This difference occurred independently of (1) serum triglyceride concentrations and sex of the volunteers, (2) concentrations of lipid emulsions (10 vs. 20%), and (3) the test sequence (Lipofundin S or Intralipid first). This means that the elimination kinetics during an IVFTT are not influenced by a foregoing test. Similar features of both emulsion types were: (1) Faster elimination in women compared to men, and in healthy volunteers compared to HTG patients; (2) inverse correlation between fractional elimination rates and serum triglyceride concentrations. Fractional elimination rates of Lipofundin S and Intralipid were closely interrelated. Obviously there exists an intra-individually characteristic elimination capacity for exogenous triglycerides.
