Oral Feeding With Glutamine Prevents Lymphocyte and Glutathione Depletion of Peyer’s Patches in Endotoxemic Mice

Abstract

Administration of glutamine prevents LPS-stimulated lymphocyte atrophy in PPs, possibly by increasing the glutathione content in the PPs. Therefore, oral glutamine supply seems to be a suitable approach for improving intestinal immunity in immunocompromised patients.
