A series of experiments on puppies and two newborn infants indicates that Intralipid which covered only 4% of the total caloreis, prevented or improved essential fatty acid deficiency in puppies and infants on hyperalimentation. This means that the intravenous fat emulsion, which covers about 2% of the total caloric intake with linoleic acid, still satisfies the essential fatty acid requirement, since half of the fatty acid composition of Intralipid is linoleate.
