Abstract
Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is lifesaving yet non-normal nutrition regimen during the neonatal period. However, studies have shown that TPN feeding early in life can permanently alter metabolism at later ages. Moreover, intrauterine growth restricted (IUGR) neonates also have a higher risk of developing metabolic diseases (such as obesity and dyslipidemia) in later life. Because a substantial proportion of IUGR neonates receive TPN in early life, we wondered if the metabolic effects of feeding TPN early in life would exacerbate these effects of IUGR? We hypothesized that feeding TPN to IUGR neonates would aggravate the risk of developing obesity and dyslipidemia in adulthood. Sixteen normal weight female piglets (7 d old) were randomized to sow-fed (SF) or early TPN (TPN-CON); 8 (IUGR or runt) piglets were fed TPN as a third group (TPN-IUGR). After 2 weeks of TPN or suckling, all pigs were fed a normal grower diet for 8 mo. At 8 mo, catheters were implanted and in vivo metabolic tests were conducted. TPN-IUGR pigs demonstrated catch-up growth by 4 mo, and body weights were not different among groups at 8 mo. The metabolic effects of feeding TPN persisted into adulthood, as indicated by higher postprandial plasma triglycerides (TG) and fasting plasma non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), compared to SF (P < 0.05). IUGR exacerbated TPN-induced risk for diseases by worsening obesity outcomes with greater subcutaneous fat deposition (P < 0.05) and greater ectopic TG deposition in the liver (P < 0.05) and muscle (P < 0.05). Furthermore, IUGR led to dyslipidemia as indicated by higher cholesterol in fasted plasma LDL (P < 0.05), slower postprandial TG clearance (P < 0.05), higher fasting plasma NEFA (P < 0.001) and higher plasma dimethylglycine (P < 0.05), compared to the TPN-CON. IUGR pigs had greater VLDL secretion, as suggested by higher microsomal transfer protein mRNA (P < 0.05). Early TPN programmed reduced lipogenesis, as indicated by lower fatty acid synthase mRNA (P < 0.05), compared to SF. Collectively, these findings conclude that although TPN is a lifesaving measure, feeding TPN to IUGR neonates has long-term metabolic consequences predisposing them to develop metabolic disorders in adulthood.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
