[Use of fats in early enteral feeding].

It was established in experiments on dogs that tropism of the small intestine to proteins, fats, and carbohydrates is determined by the organism's requirements in them. Clinical studies showed the efficacy of enteral administration of fats in a highly dispersed form. Peripheral beta-adrenergic block was found to be a modulator of the functions of the small intestine which were disturbed by the operative trauma.
