Modulation effect of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on target organ function as well as immune and inflammatory response of cecal ligation and puncture-induced septic rats

摘要

Objective:To study the modulation effect of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on target organ function as well as immune and inflammatory reaction of cecal ligation and puncture-induced septic rats.Methods:Adult SD rats were selected as research subjects and randomly divided into control group, model group and PUFA group. Septic rat models were made by cecal ligation and puncture method and given n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid for parenteral nutrition. Then number of apoptosis cells in intestinal mucosa, contents of intestinal flora, intestinal mucosal barrier function and immune function were detected.Results: (1) Intestinal mucosa function: the number of apoptosis cells in intestinal mucosa, intestinal E. coli contents, serum D-lactose and DAO contents as well as L/M ratio in urine of model group were higher than those of control group, and contents of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli were lower than those of control group; the number of apoptosis cells in intestinal mucosa, intestinal E. coli contents, serum D-lactose and DAO contents as well as L/M ratio in urine of PUFA group were lower than those of model group, and contents of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli were higher than those of model group; (2) Immune and inflammatory response: the number of PP nodes and PP node cells as well as contents of B cells and T cells in intestinal mucosa of model group were lower than those of control group; the number of PP nodes and PP node cells as well as contents of B cells and T cells in intestinal mucosa of PUFA group were higher than those of model group.Conclusion: n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3PUFAs) are helpful to protect intestinal mucosal barrier function of cecal ligation and puncture-induced septic rats, regulate intestinal flora balance and improve immune and inflammatory response.
