ABSTRACT

Nutrition and immunology are interrelated. Several nutrients like arginine, glutamine, omega-3-fatty acids and nucleotides enhance cellular immunity, modulate tumor cell metabolism and improve clinical outcome in stress situations. Glutamine supplementation has been shown to decrease incidence of sepsis and to reduce length of hospital stay in bone marrow transplant patients, low birth weight infants, surgical and multiple trauma patients. Studies with arginine have shown a reduction in infectious complications and lower mortality, however a better understanding of the biology of arginine is needed. Omega-3-fatty acid supplimentation as in fish oil stimulates the immune system. The beneficial effects of immunonutrition in surgical patients has been demonstrated in several studies. It significantly reduces infectious complications and length of hospital stay. In critically ill patients immunonutrition may decrease infectious complications but it is not associated with a mortality advantage. Pediatric experience is limited, but the future is promising.

ABSTRACT

La leche humana contiene 13 nucleótidos. Varias investigaciones en relación a la alimentación de los lactantes han sido llevadas a cabo para demostrar las ventajas de la adición de nucleótidos a las fórmulas de iniciación. Los nucleótidos están involucrados en la mayoría de los procesos celulares y juegan un papel importante en la función estructural, metabólica, energética y reguladora celular. Estos pueden afectar la diferenciación del enterocito, son importantes en el mantenimiento óptimo de la inmunidad celular y humoral e influyen en la síntesis de lipoproteínas. El propósito de este artículo es revisar los estudios que soportan el efecto de los nucleótidos cuando son adicionados a las fórmulas de iniciación en la función inmunológica, metabolismo de los lípidos y sistema gastrointestinal
