Summary of effects of TPN on the luminal metabolome and microbiome. With TPN dependence, an altered microbiome is associated with a loss of epithelial barrier function. TPN-derived serum nutrients are supplied to the epithelium while also permeating into the intestinal lumen via a transepithelial route, further supporting the altered intraluminal bacterial population.
