Enteral nutrition combined with glutamine promotes recovery after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis in rats
AIM: To assess the effect of enteral nutrition (EN) supplemented with glutamine on recovery after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) in rats, to provide an experimental basis for nutritional support in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) after IPAA. METHODS: Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were ran...

description | AIM: To assess the effect of enteral nutrition (EN) supplemented with glutamine on recovery after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) in rats, to provide an experimental basis for nutritional support in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) after IPAA. METHODS: Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into three groups (n = 8) after IPAA operation using a microsurgical technique. From the third postoperative day, rats in the control group, EN group, and immune nutrition (IN) group were fed standard rat chow, short peptide EN, and short peptide EN combined with glutamine ad libitum, respectively. The rats’ general condition was observed throughout the study. Serum levels of total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), prealbumin (PA), and transferrin (TF) were detected on the 30th postoperative day, using an automatic biochemical analyzer. The ileal pouch mucosa was stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE), and occludin protein levels were detected by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: The body weight of rats in the EN group (359.20 ± 10.06 g) was significantly higher than that in the control group (344.00 ± 9.66 g) (P < 0.05) and lower than that in the IN group (373.60 ± 9.86 g) (P < 0.05) on the 30th postoperative day. The levels of serum TP, ALB, PA, and TF in the EN group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.01 for all) and lower than those in the IN group (P < 0.05 for all). Histopathological score (EN: 0.80 ± 0.37; IN: 0.60 ± 0.40; control group: 2.29 ± 0.18) and expression level of occludin protein (EN: 0.182 ± 0.054; IN: 0.188 ± 0.048; control group: 0.127 ± 0.032) were significantly lower in the control group compared with the EN and IN groups (P < 0.05 for all), but there were no significant differences between the latter two groups (P > 0.05 for all). CONCLUSION: EN combined with glutamine may effectively improve nutritional status after IPAA. Our results suggest a benefit of glutamine supplementation in EN for UC patients undergoing IPAA, although human studies are required to confirm this finding. |
