Optimal nutrition for preterm versus term infants

medical illustration of Illustrated is the influence of total parenteral nutrition (TPN), a common clinical practice in hospitalized preterm infants. Also shown is the influence of surgical resection of intestine, which occurs due to congenital and acquired GI diseases. Adobe Illustrator. Published in Burrin et al.

Next medical illustration of Dietary nutrients are sensed along the intestinal epithelium via taste receptor–expressing sensory cells that form part of the enteroendocrine system. Stimulation of these cells results in the release of gut peptides that influence the hunger-satiety cycle. Once released, gut peptides can function locally in a paracrine fashion, via an endocrine effect using blood distribution, or via synapsis with the neuropods of the vagal nerve. Adobe Illustrator. Keywords: vector, intestine, cutaway
