Subcutaneous or oral administration of the polyunsaturated fatty acid linoleic acid prolongs survival of skin allografts in mice. Mice fed on a diet deficient in polyunsaturated fatty acids show a relative immunopotentiation, as indicated by accelerated skin allograft rejection and decreased incidence and rate of development of methylcholanthrene-induced tumors. These observations support the hypothesis that polyunsaturated fatty acids take part in immunoregulatory mechanisms.
皮下或口服多不饱和脂肪酸亚油酸可延长小鼠皮肤同种异体移植的存活时间。以缺乏多不饱和脂肪酸的饮食喂养的小鼠表现出相对的免疫增强,这可通过皮肤同种异体移植排斥加速以及甲基胆蒽诱导肿瘤的发生率和发展速度降低来表明。这些观察结果支持了多不饱和脂肪酸参与免疫调节机制的假说。
