UNLABELLED Carbohydrate restriction is a common weight-loss approach that modifies hepatic metabolism by increasing gluconeogenesis (GNG) and ketosis. Because little is known about the effect of carbohydrate restriction on the origin of gluconeogenic precursors (GNG from glycerol [GNG(glycerol)] and GNG from lactate/amino acids [GNG(phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP))]) or its consequence to hepatic ene...

Food restriction has long been known to prolong life in rodents, and recent studies have shown it to have antiaging effects in regard to a variety of physiologic and pathologic processes. It has been suggested that these actions of food restriction relate to the reduction of metabolic rate per unit of body mass brought about by this dietary regimen. Data are presented in this report showing tha...

INTRODUCTION Postnatal growth restriction is considered a universal problem in extremely premature infants (EPI), and causes great concern due to the possible relationship between nutrition, sub-optimal postnatal growth, and neurodevelopment delay. OBJECTIVES To describe the weight gain in EPI and to determine the changes in the length and head circumference (HC) at hospital discharge in surv...

OBJECTIVE To determine the distinguishing characteristics of women who report stopping insulin restriction at 11 years of follow-up from those continuing to endorse insulin restriction as well as those characteristics differing in patients who continue to use insulin appropriately from new insulin restrictors. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This is an 11-year follow-up study of 207 women with ty...

We give a new formula for the branching rule from ${\rm GL}_n$ to O}_n$ generalizing Littlewood's restriction formula. The is given in terms of Littlewood-Richardson tableaux with certain flag conditions which vanish stable range. As an application, we combinatorial Lusztig $t$-weight multiplicity $K_{\mu 0}(t)$ type $B_n$ and $D_n$ highest weight $\mu$ $0$.

BACKGROUND: Fetal growth restriction is associated with significantly increased risks of neonatal death and morbidity and with susceptibility to hypertension, cardiovascular disease and NIDDM later in life. Human birth weight has a substantial genetic component, with at least a quarter of the variation attributable to additive genetic effects. METHODS: One hundred twenty-five subjects (83 contr...

Multiple periods of caloric restriction (or fasting)/ refeeding in rodents have had inconsistent effects on mammary tumor (MT) development. In the present study, the consequence of intermittent caloric restriction/ refeeding resulting in weight-cycling was evaluated using an oncogene-induced MT mouse model. Hybrid mouse MT virus-transforming growth factor (MMTV-TGF)/ Lep Lep female mice were us...

BACKGROUND Fullterm small-for-gestational-age children (SGAs) are known for their ability to catch up on growth. Nevertheless, increased risk of growth restriction remains. Evidence on preterm SGA children's growth is lacking. OBJECTIVE To determine absolute gains in height and weight, relative growth, and growth restriction in preterm SGAs from 0 to 4 years and how prematurity and SGA status...
