متن کاملDirect effects of modest hyperglycaemia on susceptibility to infection in the critically ill patient
In their recent study, Otto and colleagues suggested that the adverse effects of hyperglycaemia on immune function may be mediated by hyperosmotic stress [1]. In granulocytes both oxidative burst and phagocytosis were suppressed by hyperosmolar stress with mannitol, but no significant effect was observed on cytokine release from peripheral blood mononuclear cells [1]. The concentration of gluco...
