Malnutrition and malabsorption of nutrients impair growth and nutritional status. As reduced fat digestion leads to a deficiency of fat-soluble vitamins the supplementation is standard, but absorption is a critical point in PEI-patients. The pancreatic duct ligated (PL) pig is an established model for PEI in humans and has been proven to be a suitable model to compare different vitamin additives for supplementation. In a former study, PEI caused distinct growth retardation in young piglets, but did not affect growth in older ones. Our study hypothesised that this age-dependent effect is caused by exhausted body reserves of fat-soluble vitamins and, therefore, extra supply reduces growth retardation. PEI was induced by PL at the age of seven (PL-7) or 16 weeks (PL-16). Controls (C) underwent a sham surgery. Some PL-7 pigs (PL-7 + Vit) were fed a special vitamin additive. PEI reduced the mean final body weight (kg) at 26 weeks of age significantly with lower effect in PL-16-pigs (C:117; PL-7:49.5; PL-7 + Vit:77.1; PL-16:96.4). Extra vitamin supply resulted in an increased growth and normalised serum concentration of alpha-tocopherol, underlining the importance of special supplementation in PEI-patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms17101642","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,28]],"date-time":"2016-09-28T10:56:13Z","timestamp":1475060173000},"page":"1642","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Oral Supplementation with a Special Additive of Retinyl Palmitate and Alpha Tocopherol Reduces Growth Retardation in Young Pancreatic Duct Ligated Pigs Used as a Model for Children Suffering from Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5094-6027","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anne","family":"M\u00f6\u00dfeler","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Animal Nutrition, University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Foundation, Bischofsholer Damm 15, D-30173 Hanover, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7218-293X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marion","family":"Schmicke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic for Cattle, University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Foundation, Bischofsholer Damm 15, D-30173 Hanover, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"H\u00f6ltershinken","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic for Cattle, University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Foundation, Bischofsholer Damm 15, D-30173 Hanover, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Beyerbach","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department for Biometry, Epidemiology and Information Processing, University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Foundation, B\u00fcnteweg 2, D-30559 Hanover, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Josef","family":"Kamphues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Animal Nutrition, University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Foundation, Bischofsholer Damm 15, D-30173 Hanover, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3","DOI":"10.1097\/00004836-199901000-00002","article-title":"Pancreatic enzymes: Secretion and luminal nutrient digestion in health and disease","volume":"28","author":"Layer","year":"1999","journal-title":"J.
