Effect of different combinations of dietary additives on bacterial translocation and survival in gut-derived sepsis.
Dietary arginine, glutamine, and fish oil each have been shown to improve resistance to infection. The purpose of this study was to assess the potential benefit of different combinations and amounts of these components on bacterial translocation and related mortality during gut-derived sepsis. ⋯ Feeding with arginine+glutamine, fish oil+arginine, or fish oil+glutamine supplemented diets positively affects the outcome in a gut-derived sepsis model.
