El aceite de pescado en la dieta mejora la función de la barrera intestinal y la composición de la microbiota intestinal y reduce la inflamación sistémica en un modelo murino de malnutrición aguda moderada

reduced translocation of bacteria and bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS), and dampened systemic inflammation. Furthermore, dietary fish oil protected against weight loss upon systemic challenge with bacterial LPS. The anti-inflammatory effects of dietary fish oil did not compromise host defence against challenge with the intestinal pathogen, Citrobacter rodentium. Collectively, these results suggest that dietary fish oil blunts inflammation that contributes to the pathogenesis of MAM. Inclusion of fish oil in dietary interventions may be beneficial in prevention or reduction of malnutrition-associated inflammation.
