What You'll Learn

Since the days of the Seven Countries Study led by Dr. Ancel Keys, which demonstrated the link between dietary saturation fat intake and coronary heart disease, our focus in health care has been on the detrimental health effects of fat. However, recent developments have begun to change this negative connotation. The 2025 Dudrick Research Symposium will highlight  cutting-edge research that is being performed in the realm of fatty acids, including the benefit of fish oil/omega-3 fatty acids, the clinical utility of specialized pro-resolving mediators, and the benefits and future potential for use of modified fatty acids in parenteral nutrition (PN) related complications.

 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Summarize the impact of modified fatty acids in the prevention and treatment of PN related complications such as IFALD.
  • Discuss the benefit of fish oil in general health and nutrition support.
  • Outline the physiology of specialized pro-resolving mediators and their clinical utility.
