Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We tried to explore food components affecting lymphatic levels of lipids and inflammatory cytokines in thoracic lymph duct-cannulated rats. As the results, we found that dietary oxycholesterols increase lymphatic inflammatory cytokine levels, and that dietary pterostillbene or phosphatidylcholine reduces lymphatic inflammatory cytokine levels in rats. In addition, our results suggest that the reduction of lymphatic inflammatory cytokine levels by dietary phosphatidylcholine contribute to the change of lymphatic lipid transport and the reduction of CD3-CD4+ cells in the lymph.
