Participants will be randomly assigned to the experimental group where they will be given enteral nutrition formula rich in zinc and arginine plus a symbiotic (Probinul- Ca.Di.GROUP S.r.l.) once a day for 90 days or the control group where they will receive only the enteral nutrition formula rich in zinc and arginine.

Determination of Transforming Growth Factor β (TGF-β1), Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)
Human EGF, human VEGF/human TGF-β1 will be measured on aliquots (20 μl) of plasma using Quantikine® ELISA Human Immunoassay (R\&D System, Abingdon, UK), following the manufacturer's protocol. The quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique will be used. A monoclonal antibody specific for human EGF/human VEGF, is pre-coated onto a microplate. For TGF -β1 assay latent TGF-β1 must be activated before test, following a procedure of acidification and then neutralization to pH 7.2-7.6. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and EGF or VEGF present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After washing away unbound substances, an enzyme-linked polyclonal antibody specific for human EGF/human VEGF is added to the wells. After removing any unbound antibody-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added and colour develops in proportion to the amount of EGF bound. Colour development is stopped, and colour intensity measured. Tests will be performed in triplicates for each sample.
90 days after the fist time point (baseline assessment)
Monitoring modification of gut microbiota through DNA extraction and quantification
45 days after the fist time point (baseline assessment) and 90 days after the fist time point (baseline assessment)
Participants assigned to the treatment group will be administered a commercial symbiotic (Probinul Ca.Di.GROUP S.r.l.) for the entire duration of the study (90 days) plus an enteral nutrition formula rich in zinc and arginine
Control group will be administered only an enteral nutrition formula rich in zinc and arginine
