Effect of Dietary Fat on the Immunotoxicity of Chloramphenicol

클로람페니콜의 면역독성에 미치는 식이지방의 영향

The effect of dietary fat on the immunotoxicity of chloramphenicol was investigated in mice, sensitized and challenged with sheep red blood cells. Chloramphenicol suppressed more cell-mediated immunity than humoral immunity. The saturated fat diet elevated humoral and cell-mediated immunotoxicity, whereas the unsaturated fat diet decreased humoral immunotoxicity, but elevated cell-mediated immunotoxicity of chloramphenicol. Especially, the normal diet in saturated and unsaturated fat restored immunosuppressive effect of chloramphenicol compared to the saturated fat diet and the unsaturated fat diet.
