Popis: | Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is an important therapeutic modality in patients with dysfunctional gastrointestinal physiology. A recognized sequelae of TPN is intestinal mucosal atrophy which presumably occurs from disuse. We have previously established that the use of TPN results in a marked reduction in biliary secretory IgA (s-IgA). The purpose of the present study was to asses the effect of giutamine enhanced TPN solution on biliary Ig A and Ig M concentration and on bacterial translocation to MLN. |
