PG - 198-203 AB - Effects of exogenous fat emulsion (Intralipid) on lymphocyte function were studied, in vivo, with rats. Abdominal sepsis was induced in Sprague Dawley rats by cecal ligation and puncture. Following a bolus infusion of the fat emulsion or normal saline, lymphocyte proliferations after stimulation with bacto-concanavalin A (Con A), phytohemagglutinin (PHA), and pokeweed mitogen (PWM) were evaluated in animals divided into the following groups: group I, non-septic rats receiving saline infusion (NS-S); group II, non-septic rats receiving the fat emulsion (NS-F); group III, septic rats receiving saline (S-S); group IV, septic rats receiving the fat emulsion (S-F). Results of the study demonstrated that lymphocyte function was not suppressed by the presence of sepsis, and infusion of the exogenous fat emulsion also did not lead to a suppression of the lymphocyte function in either the septic or the non-septic rats. The results obtained from a previous, as well as this present, study suggest that although infusion of exogenous fat emulsion may suppress the function of monocyte and polymorphonuclear cells, lymphocyte function is not affected.
