title: [The influence of deficient and excessive dietary energy supply on immune system functioning].
abstract: There is direct dependence between immune system functioning and nutritional value of food. Balanced diet satisfies energetic demand of body cells, including immune system cells which constitute nonspecific barrier and a specific defense against infection. Both too low and excessive energy supply in food have negative influence on cell-mediated and humoral immunity of the organism. The article deals with the influence of protein-energy malnutrition on immunity mechanisms mobility and immunity consequences of excessive dietary energy supply concurrent with obesity taking into consideration patient age groups.
