Abstract: Objective To evaluate the effect of enteral nutrition emulsion on the immunologic function and intestinal mucous barrier in diabetic patients. Methods Eighty diabetic patients were randomly divided into con-trol group (n=40) and enteral nutrition group (n=40). The urine lactulose (L) and mannitol (M) levels and the blood immunologic indicators recorded on day 1 and day 8. Results The L/M ratio was significantly lower in enteral nutrition group than in control group on day 1 and day 8 ( P < 0. 05 ). The IgG level was significantly higher in enteral nutrition group than in control group on day 8 ( P = 0. 02 ). Conclusion Enteral nutrition emulsion can decrease the permeability of intestinal mucous membrane and improve the immunologic function in diabetic pa-tients.
