Polyunsaturated fatty acids and T‐cell function: Implications for the neonate

Abstract: Infant survival depends on the ability to respond effectively and appropriately to environmental challenges. Infants are born with a degree of immunological immaturity that renders them susceptible to infection and abnormal dietary responses (allergies). T-lymphocyte function is poorly developed at birth. The reduced ability of infants to respond to mitogens may be the result of the low number of CD45RO+ (memory/antigen-primed) T cells in the infant or the limited ability to produce cytokines [particularly int… Show more

“…105,106 Any beneficial effects of breastfeeding on offspring immune responses may be due to stimulation of helper T (Th) sub-type-1 development, which produce more Il2 and IFN-γ than Th2 cells, cells who instead are characterized by greater production of IL4, Il10 and Il13. 107 …”

“…DHA, 4 a major -3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, is particularly prevalent in neuronal tissues, and its content in maternal breast milk correlates with both neural development end points and immune status in the fetus (9,10). DHA is also essential for proper T cell development in neonates (11) and regulates T cell functions, with a polarizing preference toward the T H 2 phenotype as well as promotion of apoptosis in T H 1-polarized CD4 ϩ T cells (12,13). Consequently, T H 2 cells are potent suppressors of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, particularly in the central nervous system (14).…”

“…Field и соавт. [30] изучалось влияние питания, обогащенного и не содержа-щего ДГК и АК, на жирнокислотный состав лимфоцитов периферической крови у недоношенных и доношенных новорожденных. Установлено, что добавление ДЦПНЖК в детские смеси влияло на степень зрелости лимфоцитов периферической крови и продукцию цитокинов.…”
