Abstract

Surgical neonates are at risk for sepsis and liver dysfunction. These complications are more common in preterm neonates and in those who receive total parenteral nutrition. Elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (eg, hydrogen peroxide) have been reported in these "at-risk" patients and may be the mediators of liver impairment via their effect on oxidative energy metabolism. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that elevated levels of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) impair neonatal liver oxidative energy metabolism.
