The feeds of 14 very low birthweight infants (birth weight less than 1500 g) were supplemented with a glucose polymer (Caloreen) at the rate of 6 g/kg body weight daily. Seven day periods of supplementation were alternated with seven day periods of normal feeding. Adding the glucose polymer significantly increased the rate of weight gain in these infants from 105 g/week to 140 g/week; growth rates in terms of length and head circumference were not affected. No adverse effects were noted. Glucose polymer is a useful energy supplement for very low birthweight infants.
对14名极低出生体重儿（出生体重低于1500克）的喂养中，每日按6克/千克体重的剂量补充一种葡萄糖聚合物（卡洛林）。补充期7天与正常喂养期7天交替进行。添加葡萄糖聚合物显著提高了这些婴儿的体重增加速率，从每周105克增至每周140克；身长和头围方面的生长速率未受影响。未观察到不良反应。葡萄糖聚合物是极低出生体重儿有用的能量补充剂。
