Immunomodulating actions of nucleotides: enhancement of immunoglobulin production by human cord blood lymphocytes.

abstract：:Essential fatty acid deficiency (EFAD) occurs in infants fed fat-free mixtures of glucose and amino acids. Although infusion of lipid emulsion rapidly reverses clinical symptoms, little is known about effects on tissue fatty acids. To study this question, five groups (n = 4/group) of neonatal pigs were studied. Three ...
