Abstract
The development of a child in infancy represents a critical time window for the formation of future health due to the extraordinary plasticity at this stage of various organs and their sensitivity to nutrition and other environmental factors. Children born prematurely are a vulnerable link for many pathological conditions, while their anatomical and physiological features of metabolism are not able to fully control the internal processes of self-regulation. And while the views of many experts are focused on the development of new methods of respiratory support, one should not forget about the special need of this group of children for micronutrients. The purpose of this work was to familiarize a wide range of readers with the metabolic status and its relationship with some pathological conditions in premature newborns, depending on the substrate of enteral nutrition.
