LOW BIRTH WEIGHT INFANTS
• 10% Births in U.S. and 15-20% worldwide
• LBW = <2500 g or <5.5 pounds
• Most are born preterm = <37 weeks gestation
• Preterm birth is leading cause of child death
Optimizing the nutritional management of LBW infants is crucial for their immediate and long-term health
• Most are extrauterine growth restricted and small at hospital discharge
• Adverse long-term developmental outcomes are incurred
• Cognitive deficit
• Motor impairment
• Altered body composition – high fat to lean body mass ratio
• Obesity, insulin resistance, Type 2 diabetes
• Metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease
LOW BIRTH WEIGHT
INFANTS
• Extrauterine growth restriction of LBW infants is frequently due to our inability to provide adequate nutrition
• Initially fed total parenteral nutrition (TPN) due to intolerance to oral feeds
• Advanced gradually from TPN to enteral feeding
LOW BIRTH WEIGHT
INFANTS
Orogastric Tube Feeding
Bolus Continuous
?Which feeding pattern is more beneficial for promoting lean growth in infants is unknown
Pulsatile pattern ofhormones and substrates
Low, constant level of hormones and substrates
Neonatal Piglet Model• To identify new strategies to optimize the nutritional
management and improve the growth of low birth weight infants
• Ethical considerations limit human infant studies
• Anatomy and metabolism similar to infants
• Body size enables many experimental approaches
o repeated sampling
o tracer kinetics
o feeding modality

Is bolus feeding more beneficial than continuous feeding because it activates the signaling components that
regulate protein synthesis?

Pulsatile pattern ofamino acids & insulin
Low, constant level of amino acids & insulin
Activates amino acid & insulin signaling pathways
Mutes amino acid & insulin signaling pathways
Stimulates protein synthesis Blunts protein synthesis
Increases lean growth Restricts lean growth
Perspectives
Intermittent bolus feeding is the preferable feeding method to enhance lean growth during
gastric tube feeding.
• Some low birth weight infants must be fed continuously because of meal feeding intolerance.
• Can strategies be developed to improve the growth of infants who must be continuously fed?
Leucine• Essential amino acid
• Signaling molecule that stimulates intracellular signaling pathways that regulate protein synthesis
• Primary driver of the increase in protein synthesis in skeletal muscle after a meal

Can pulsatile delivery of a leucine supplement during continuous feeding enhance lean growth
by mimicing the pulse of leucine that occurs after a meal?
Methods
CONT + alanine

• Continuous infusion of formula by orogastric tube for 21 d (10 mL•kg-1 BW•h-1)
• Parenterally pulsed with leucine (800 μmol•kg-1 BW•h-1) or alanine (isonitrogenous control) at 4 h intervals

Conclusions• Pulsatile delivery of a leucine supplement during
continuous enteral feeding in neonates activates the translation initiation pathway that increases protein synthesis in skeletal muscle.
• This stimulatory effect of leucine supplementation on muscle protein synthesis leads to an increase in lean growth.

QuestionCan supplementation with the leucine metabolite, β-

synthesis in neonates?
HMB may promote lean gain and strength in adults.
Methods• Treatment groups (n = 7-9/treatment; 5-7 d-old):
1) Fasted (F)
2) Low Protein Diet (LP)
3) Low Protein Diet + HMB 4 µmol/kg/day (HMB-4)
4) Low Protein Diet + HMB 40 µmol/kg/day (HMB-40)
5) Low Protein Diet + HMB 80 µmol/kg/day (HMB-80)
6) High Protein Diet (HP)
• Gastric tube feeding every 4 hours for 24 hours

HMB Supplementation Stimulates Satellite Cell Proliferation in Muscle
CONCLUSIONS
Enteral HMB supplementation in neonatal piglets:
• Increases skeletal muscle protein synthesis by enhancing the activation of translation initiation via the mTOR pathway
• Increases satellite cell proliferation
Perspectives
Supplementation with leucine or its metabolite, HMB may be useful adjuncts to the nutritional management of
LBW infants to promote their growth.
