Elements of the type of nutrients play a crucial role in the recovery of body weight in rats and maintaining nitrogen balance. Indigestible dextrin with five glycans is easily digestible and absorbable, offering high nutritional value. This enhances the feed titer, contributing to a rapid increase in the body's nutrient levels. The recovery from juvenile rat nitrogen balance shows that although both groups reached a positive nitrogen balance status on the first day, the experimental group returned to normal nitrogen balance more quickly than the control group. This indicates that nutrient elements of this type can speed up the recovery of nitrogen balance and significantly improve the nutritional status of body protein.
In clinical applications, patients receiving anticancer treatment (such as UFT) often experience side effects like anorexia, nausea, and vomiting, which also affect food intake in rats. The food intake of the control rats decreased significantly, leading to a continuous decline in weight. In contrast, the experimental group, fed with total nutrient elements, maintained a stable weight with slight increases. After stopping the dosing and feeding of type nutrients, both groups were given a basic diet for one week. The control group only recovered to the initial weight level of the experimental group, while the experimental group showed a significant increase, further proving that total nutrient elements provide nutritional support and could be considered for clinical nutrition therapy in cancer patients.
The experimental results demonstrate that total nutrients accelerate the recovery of body weight in juvenile and adult rats under low nutritional status, enhancing the recovery of protein nutritional status. They also promote better nutritional support for rats undergoing antineoplastic treatment with UFT. These findings suggest that their nutritional effects can be further confirmed in clinical trials.
