title: [Effect of glucidic and fat total parenteral nutrition on macrophage phagocytosis in rats].
abstract: Fat lipid emulsions in Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) have been associated to Mononuclear Phagocytary System (MPS) changes. Intravenous lipid emulsions may alter macrophage membrane composition but there are controversies about their effects on MPS function. The aim of the present investigation was to assess the influence of fat free TPN and fat emulsions TPN on the macrophage phagocytosis. Wistar rats (70) with external jugular vein canulation were divided in seven groups. The rats received, intravenously (i.v.) different isocaloric (1.16 kcal/mL), isonitrogenous (1.5 g/mL), and isolipidic (30 to 32% of non-proteic caloric value) TPN regimens or oral diet: 1) Group OS: oral diet with i.v. infusion of saline; 2) Group GLU: fat-free TPN; 3) Group LCT: TPN with 10% long chain triglecide emulsion (TCL); 6) Group MCT: TPN with 10% lipid emulsion with medium chain triglycerides (TCM-50%) and TCL (50%). After 96 hours of TPN or saline infusion, colloidal carbon was i.v. injected at 1.0 mL/kg body weight. The rats were sacrificed after three hours. Liver, spleen and lung were weighted and studied by immunohistochemistry by the avidine-biotine method. Under light microscopy the total macrophage number (MT) and colloidal carbon phagocytic macrophages number (MF) were established. Phagocytic index was MT/MF x 100. The results were statistically analysed (p < 0.05). The group under oral diet (OS) was the only one to gain weight. There were no differences in organ weight in any group. There were changes in MT, MF and phagocytic index in all TPN groups. Fat free TPN inhibited liver, spleen and lung macrophage phagocytosis. Fat TPN with TCL inhibited liver and lung macrophage phagocytosis. At conclusion fat free TPN or with long chain tryglicerides may inhibit MPS phagocytosis. Further studies are necessary to estabilish the effect of TPN on other MPS function.
