Is fungicidal activity of lysozyme inhibited in vitro by commercial sinus irrigation solutions?
The in  vitro FA of lysozyme is dependent on the ionic strength of the solution. The use of sinus irrigation solutions should be further evaluated with regard to maintaining functional activity of cationic antimicrobial peptides involved in sinonasal innate immunity.
(1) budesonide increases ileal fructose uptake following intestinal resection, and this beneficial effect is prevented by feeding SFA rather than PUFA; (2) fructose uptake does not correlate with GLUT5 and GLUT2 protein and mRNA; (3) ODC and proglucagon may be involved in this adaptive response.
