Application

Intralipid has been used:for testing its optical properties to be used as scattering medium for tissue phantom generationas a component of agarose gel phantom to reduce scatter coefficients and background absorptionin infusion into mice in hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps studies to evaluate its effect on nonesterified free fatty acids (NEFA) circulation

Biochem/physiol Actions

Intralipid is a lipid emulsion comprising soybean oil. It favors proinflammatory cytokines production and is recommended for the treatment of immune-mediated pregnancy and implantation failure. In parenteral nutrition, intralipid is the source of fats. It elicits protection in heart ischemia-reperfusion injury by inhibiting mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening. Intralipid is an effective alternative for intravenous immunoglobulin and improves bioavailability of platinum based anti-cancer drugs.
