Variation in Protein and Calorie Consumption Following Protein Malnutrition in Rattus norvegicus
Catch-up growth rates, following protein malnutrition, vary with timing and duration of insult, despite unlimited access to calories. Understanding changing patterns of post-insult consumption, relative rehabilitation timing, can provide insight into the mechanisms driving those differences. We hypothesize that higher catch-up growth rates will be correlated with increased protein consumption, ...
متن کاملImmunoglobulins in Protein-Calorie Malnutrition
term 'familial' does not seem to apply to such a situation. While Tandler's faulty recanalization concept may be of lesser importance in explaining atresias beyond the duodenum (where no 'solid stage' has been satisfactorily demonstrated), it may well apply to duodenal atresias. This is supported by the observation that it may be accompanied by other errors of growth, notably Down's syndrome (B...
متن کاملAssessment of protein-calorie malnutrition.
We critically review the various methods for assessing protein--calorie malnutrition. These tests are lacking in sensitivity and specificity, and currently no single one can be used as a reliable indicator of malnutrition. However, a combination of several of them can be used as prognostic indicators and are of help in selecting patients who may benefit from nutritional support. Body-compositio...
متن کاملSecretory IgA in protein-calorie malnutrition.
The secretory IgA system was investigated in children with protein-calorie malnutrition (PCM). The results of the study indicated that in children suffering from kwashiorkor and marasmus the concentration of IgA in duodenal fluid, saliva, nasal secretions, and tears was significantly reduced on admission and returned to normal 4 weeks after treatment. However, the concentration of secretory IgA...
متن کاملPlasma somatomedin activity in protein calorie malnutrition.
Somatomedin activity was assayed in the plasma of children suffering from protein calorie malnutrition by a bioassay using rat cartilage and expressed as sulphate uptake ratio. The sulphate uptake ratio was particularly reduced in kwashiorkor. In marasmus there was a slight reduction and the levels were still in the normal range. Plasma growth hormone (GH) levels were raised in kwashiorkor but ...
