| pubmed-article:9142153 | pubmed:abstractText | Our prior work shows that total parenteral nutrition (TPN) causes small intestinal gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) atrophy, lowers small intestinal immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels, and impairs secretory IgA-mediated mucosal immunity of the upper respiratory tract. These experiments examine whether an isonitrogenous 2% glutamine-enriched TPN solution prevents these changes. | lld:pubmed |
