Abstract excerpt
To characterize the immunological effects of various lipids that are applied as part of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) formulations, we analyzed phenotypical changes in leukocytes following lipid exposure. Importantly, the study was performed with whole blood in order to prevent the functional changes that are induced by isolation procedures. Briefly, blood samples from 10 healthy volunteers were incubated with...
