Effect of intrajejunal elemental diet perfusion on jejunal secretion of immunoglobulins, albumin, and hyaluronan in man.

Abstract: The aim of this work was to study the jejunal secretion of immunoglobulins (Ig), albumin, and hyaluronan in response to jejunal perfusion of an elemental diet. A four lumen tube with a proximal occluding balloon at the angle of Treitz was used for jejunal perfusion in seven healthy volunteers (mean age 23 years). The length of the test segment was 40 cm. The jejunum was successively perfused with a control electrolyte solution for 80 minutes and with an elemental diet (containing 20.5 milligrams of free amino … Show more

“…In conclusion, this and our previous studies suggest that ED perfusions have the capacity to modulate both cellular and humoral intestinal immune responses [13]. The raised jejunal perfusate levels of sCD8 induced by the perfusion of an ED solution may reflect a physiological activation of suppressive cellular immunity.…”

“…In our study, an immunological mechanism in response to carbohydrate may be involved, since ED solution contains no peptide. Such a mechanism of intestinal T cell activation could also explain the significant increase of intestinal IgA secretion previously observed during the perfusion of a similar ED [13].…”

“…[7][8][9][10] The mucosa receives much of its nutrition directly from the lumen and substrates such as glutamine and short chain fatty acids have been shown to be the preferred fuels for the enterocytes and colonocytes, respectively. 11,12 Glutamine supplemented elemental diets have been shown to have beneficial effects in terms of intestinal mucosal morphology and bacterial translocation following radiotherapy.…”
