Changes in Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Biomarkers in Fragile Adults over Fifty Years of Age and in Elderly People Exclusively Fed Enteral Nutrition

Table 2

Plasma lipid profiles elderly patients were fed exclusively by total enteral nutrition with the experimental and reference diets for 90 d and 180 d.

Significant differences per time, according to a general lineal model for repeated measures. < 0.05 was considered significant. ApoA-I, apolipoprotein A-I; apoB, apolipoprotein B; TC, cholesterol; HDLc, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDLc, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TAG, triacylglycerols; TC, total cholesterol.
