OBJECTIVE:: The anti-inflammatory properties of parenteral nutrition might be improved by
enrichment with ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which are responsible for the …

The present study was designed to investigate the effect of diatery n− 6 and n− 3
polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on anti-CD3 and anti-Fas antibody-induced apoptosis …

Background: Lipid emulsions for parenteral nutrition commercially available are mainly
composed of long-chain triacylglycerol containing a high proportion of ω-6 polyunsaturated …

Commercially available lipid emulsions for parenteral nutrition are mainly composed by long
chain triacylglycerol containing a high proportion of linoleic acid (LA) or oleic acid (OA). The …

Long-term administration of PUFA is known to modulate immune functions and apoptotic
pathways depending on the respective amount of n-6 and n-3 fatty acids (FA). Data on short …

Background: The incorporation of lipid emulsions in parenteral diets is a requirement for
energy and essential fatty acid supply to critically ill patients. The most frequently used IV …

It is widely recognized that malnutrition is the commonest cause of immunodeficiency
worldwide (14). In fact, a recent investigation has determined that food intake increases the …

Previous studies showing dietary (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) attenuate T cell
immune-mediated inflammatory diseases led us to hypothesize that (n-3) PUFA promote …

We report here that monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs)
provoke the accumulation of neutral lipids and apoptosis in retinoic acid-treated HL-60 cells …

Dietary lipid manipulation may affect a great number of immune parameters, such as
lymphocyte proliferation, cytokine synthesis, natural killer (NK) cell activity, phagocytosis and …
