High-Dose Vitamin A Supplementation And Immune Response To Influenza A Viral Pneumonia In Balb/C Mice, Dongming Cui Jan 1997

High-Dose Vitamin A Supplementation And Immune Response To Influenza A Viral Pneumonia In Balb/C Mice, Dongming Cui

All ETDs from UAB

To investigate the importance of high dose vitamin A in the immune response and regulatory function of T helper (Th) cells to influenza A viral pneumonia, BALB/c mice were fed a high dose vitamin A diet (250,000 IU/kg diet) or a control diet (4,000 IU/kg diet) and then were intranasally inoculated with influenza A virus under light anesthesia at 7 weeks of age. The effect of these diets on vitamin A status (serum and liver retinol concentrations), severity of disease (survival and weight loss), virus replication, the antibody response to infection (serum IgG and salivary IgA), and on cytokine production …


Effect Of Shigellosis On Serum Concentration And Urinary Excretion Of Retinol, Amal Krishna Mitra Jan 1997

Effect Of Shigellosis On Serum Concentration And Urinary Excretion Of Retinol, Amal Krishna Mitra

All ETDs from UAB

Urinary retinol excretion was measured in 206 children aged 5 mo to 5 y with various illnesses. The mechanism of retinol excretion was examined in patients who had Shigella infection (n = 66). Serum retinol concentrations in patients with shigellosis were very low at admission, and increased significantly by discharge (0.36 $\pm$ 0.22 vs. 1.15 $\pm$ 0.50 $\mu$mol/L, $p < 0.001),$ although no vitamin A supplements were given. Poor nutritional status (wt/age z-score), and S. dysenteriae infection significantly predicted admission serum retinol, after controlling for possible confounding variables. Retinol loss in the urine was significantly higher among children with sepsis (0.154 $\pm$ 0.148 $\mu$mol/d) than among the other groups. Among those with shigellosis, infection due to S. dysenteriae was associated with a significantly higher amount of urinary retinol excretion compared to other Shigella (0.048 $\pm$ 0.127 vs. 0.002 $\pm$ 0.005 $\mu$mol/d, p = 0.015). The threshold of excreting $>$0.1 $\mu$mol/d increases substantially when body temperature is ${\ge}40\sp\circ$C and acute phase proteins (CRP and AGP) reach high serum concentrations, indicating a severely sick patient who is excreting a greater amount of urinary retinol. Proximal tubular function was compromized in children …
