A prospective randomized study on sixty patients was conducted to investigate the effects of a fish oil containing total parenteral nutrition (TPN) regimen in the postoperative period on lymphocyte subset distribution, proliferation, cytokine production and interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) expression. Patients who underwent large bowel surgery were divided into three groups. Nineteen patients received TPN with fish oil (0.2 g/kg body weight per day) plus soybean oil (1.0 g/kg per day), twenty patients received soybean oil (1.2 g/kg per day), and twenty-one patients who were on a fat-free regimen served as the control group. Natural killer (NK) cells, total, B-, T-, T4-, T8-lymphocytes, proliferation of lymphocytes, in vitro production of IL-2, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, and IL-2R expression were measured. Fish oil administration did not affect subset distribution and proliferation of lymphocytes. Production of interleukin-2 (IL-2), interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) was augmented, and IL-2R expression less enhanced compared with the controls. It is concluded that administration of 0.2 g/kg per day fish oil after a moderate surgical stress is not immunosuppressive, but enhances the production of IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha and possibly IL-2.
