[Changes in fat absorption and effect of early enteral feeding following burn injury].
In order to approach this problem, a new animal model was developed in this study. Results indicated that the intestinal ability of absorbing nutrients was not markedly attenuated, and the reduction of portal blood flow was the primary cause of decrement of absorption of nutrients after burn injury. Therefore it is proposed that a timely and effective restoration of the portal circulation might improve the absorption ability. From the results of our present study, it seems probable that early enteral feeding can significantly increase the portal blood flow.
