We investigated file effects of a nutrient mixture (NM) consisting of ascorbic acid, quercetin, naringenin, hesperetin. tea catechins. lysine, proline, arginine and N-acetyl cysteine on experimental in vivo and in vitro inflammation triggered by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). BALB/c mice (n=36) were administered NM (200 mg/kg BW) or ibuprofen (20 mg/kg, BW) for two weeks. Blood plasma, collected three hours after a single intraperitoneal injection with LPS (1 mg/kg BW). was analyzed with 14 cytokine microarray. LPS inflammatory effects were analyzed in human U937 macrophages by cytokine release. cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymatic activity, COX protein expression (Western blot analysis). specific mRNA levels (RT-PCR), and nuclear factor kappa beta (NF kappa beta) activation (phosphorylated p65 immunoassay). Nutrient Supplementation in mice altered the LPS-induced cytokine response in a manner similar to ibuprofen (r=0.4157. p=0.139). Cytokine response to LPS ill Cultured macrophages was similar to the in vivo Study (r=0.718 p=0.023). NM inhibited COX-2 enzymatic activity, and COX-2 and pro-inflammatory cytokine protein expression levels were downregulated by NM at the transcription level c complementing a blockade in NF kappa beta activation. NM demonstrated strong beneficial effects oil the experimental inflammation by targeting multiple responsible mechanisms in the complex process involved in the inflammatory reaction to pathogens.
