Abstract excerpt
The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of short-term protein malnutrition (PM) on immunoglobulin A (IgA) production and on the number and phenotype of lymphocytes in Peyer's patches (PP) and in the spleen. Balb/c mice were fed for 4, 7, or 10 d with a protein-deficient diet (0.1% protein). We determined B lymphocytes (CD40(+)), T lymphocytes (CD3(+)), T-helper (CD4(+)), and T-suppressor...
