Effects of a glucose and amino acid mixture prescribed for parenteral alimentation on anti-Candida activity of neutrophils were examined. Neutrophils obtained from peripheral blood of healthy humans inhibited the growth of Candida albicans in vitro. More than 1.0% of glucose inhibited the anti-Candida activity of the neutrophils in a dose-dependent manner. This glucose effect was reduced by the addition of an amino acid mixture clinically prescribed with a carbohydrate solution (PN-twin) in Japan. The amino acid mixture neutralized the suppression of anti-Candida activity of neutrophils by dexamethasone. These results suggest that an amino acid mixture prescribed in an alimentation solution may play a role as a neutralizer of the suppressive action of glucose for anti-Candida activity of neutrophils in a limited area near the top of a catheter in a blood vessel.
