Nutritional factors supporting the immune response in animals
Dorota Jamroz
Abstract
The immune system in animals and in humans as well, is a “specific network of specialized organs, tissues and cells” and different intrinsic biochemical substances that protect the host organism against invasions and unfavourable effects of pathogenic microorganisms. It plays the essential role in maintaining the resistance to disease. It is also known that some groups of specific nutrients can affect, positively or negatively the immune response of animals. In present review some connections between nutrition and immune response will be discussed.
