Title: [Protein-calorie deficiency and the immune processes]. Author: Popov AA, Krystev LP, Tashev TA. Journal: Vopr Pitan; 1977; (3):18-22. PubMed ID: 407722. Abstract: The paper deals with issues that concern the influence of alimentary factors, of protein-caloric deficiency in particular, on the function of the immune system. Subject to a consecutive study was the pathogenesis of disorders in endocytosis of antigens, in humoral and cellular immunity and in reactions of hypersensitivity with proteinic deficiency. An inference is drawn to the effect that immunogenesis and a number of immune reactions are extrmely sensitive to alimentary effects and, above all, to the proteinic deficiency. Mention is also made of the fact that under certain conditions alimentary factors can direct favourably the course of a given immune process.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
