  • Title: [Influence of protein malnutrition on the phagocytic function of neutrophils in rats].
    Author: Garcia PB, Barbieri D.
    Journal: Arch Latinoam Nutr; 1986 Dec; 36(4):662-77. PubMed ID: 3435216.
    Abstract:
    A study was carried out to determine the effect of protein deficiency on the phagocytic function of blood neutrophils and of peritoneal exudate of rats. The deficient animals exhibited significantly lower leukocyte and neutrophil values, as well as NBT reduction and diminished peroxidase and bactericidal capacity. Englobement of S. aureus and latex particles was found to be normal in both groups. Alkaline phosphatase activity in the neutrophils appear to be increased in the deficient animals.
