| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Refeeding syndrome (RFS) occurs following aggressive nutritional supplementation in malnourished patients. Hypophosphatemia is the hallmark of RFS and key to its prevention and treatment. However, the mechanism of RFS is unclear because of the lack of an animal model. In this study, we developed a rat RFS model as a first step to clarifying the molecular mechanism. Rats were fasted for 5 days and refeeding on a high calorie solution with or without insulin administration was started using total parenteral nutrition. Results showed that plasma phosphate levels did not decrease in rats infused with the high calorie solution alone; in contrast, insulin leaded hypophosphatemia. In addition, rats infused with the high calorie solution containing added phosphate did not present with hypophosphatemia. Thus, we developed a rat RFS model with hypophosphatemia by tube feeding and insulin administration, and demonstrated the importance of phosphate in preventing refeeding hypophosphatemia.
