Nutrient Transport During Hypoperfusion
… is believed to play a pathogenic role in both necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and nonocclusive small bowel necrosis (NOSBN). It is postulated that the detrimental effects of hypoperfusion are further compounded by the provision of enteral nutrients. The studies presented within this …
