The jejunal mucosa of patients with coeliac disease contains significantly fewer Paneth cells (PCC) per crypt (p less than 0.001) and tissue lysozyme activity (JLA) P less than 0.001) when compared with a group of subjects with normal jejunal mucosa. Neither PCC nor JLA return to normal with complete clinical recovery and otherwise complete histological recovery on a gluten free diet. There is a significant linear correlation between JLA and PCC suggesting that the Paneth cell is the principal source of jejunal lysozyme.
与一组空肠黏膜正常的受试者相比,乳糜泻患者的空肠黏膜每个隐窝含有的潘氏细胞(PCC)显著减少(P<0.001),组织溶菌酶活性(JLA)也显著降低(P<0.001)。在无麸质饮食情况下,尽管临床完全恢复且组织学上也完全恢复,但PCC和JLA均未恢复正常。JLA与PCC之间存在显著的线性相关性,这表明潘氏细胞是空肠溶菌酶的主要来源。
