The Interaction Between Nutrition and Inflammatory Stress Throughout the Life Cycle 2005 .txt text/plain 15205 709 40 Binding of the transcription factors is implicated in activation of a wide range of genes associated with inflammation and the immune response, including those encoding cytokines, cytokine receptors, cell adhesion molecules, acute-phase proteins, and growth factors (Schreck, Rieber, & Baeurerle, 1991) (Fig. 4 ) . While inflammation may be exerting deleterious effects most obviously in patients, people on the borderline of health and disease living in the general population Table 4 Nutrients Commonly Used in Immunonutrient Supplements and Their Potential Mode of Action • n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids: act as anti-inflammatory agents and reverse immunosuppression • Sulfur amino acids and their precursors: enhance antioxidant status via GSH synthesis • Glutamine: nutrient for immune cells, improves gut barrier function, precursor for GSH • Arginine: stimulates nitric oxide and growth hormone production, improves helper T-cell numbers • Nucleotides: RNA and DNA precursors, improve T-cell function may also require nutritional modulation of ongoing inflammatory processes. ./cache/cord-015910-d9gxew91.txt ./txt/cord-015910-d9gxew91.txt
