The effect of an intravenously administered lipid emulsion (Intralipid) on granulocyte functions has been studied. The study has been carried out in 20 healthy individuals, divided into two groups: 10 individuals have been infused with Intralipid 10% i.v.; the other 10 individuals (controls) have not been infused with any pharmacologically active solution. In all the subjects the following parameters have been studied: blood granulocyte count, granulocyte adherence and leucocyte chemotaxis. The results showed a transient fall of granulocyte adherence during the intralipid infusion; no alterations of granulocyte count and leucocyte chemotaxis were found.
