OBJECTIVE Given the importance of weight restoration for recovery in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN), we examined approaches to refeeding in adolescents and adults across treatment settings. METHODS Systematic review of PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Clinical Trials databases (1960-2015) using terms refeeding, weight restoration, hypophosphatemia, anorexia nervosa, anorexia, and anorexic. ...

1. The technique of selective labelling of hepatic fatty acids in vivo [Moir and Zammit (1992) Biochem. J. 283, 145-149] has been used to monitor non-invasively the metabolism of fatty acids in the livers of awake unrestrained rats during the starved-to-refed transition. Values for the incorporation of labelled fatty acid into liver and plasma glycerolipids and into exhaled carbon dioxide after...

Refeeding syndrome encompasses fluid and electrolyte imbalances and metabolic, intestinal, and cardiorespiratory derangements associated with appreciable morbidity and mortality. Although refeeding syndrome has been well documented in concentration-camp subjects, and more recently during parenteral therapy of critically ill patients, little is known about the importance of refeeding syndrome du...

To determine the mechanism of meal-regulated synthesis of pancreatic digestive enzymes, we studied the effect of fasting and refeeding on pancreatic protein synthesis, relative mRNA levels of digestive enzymes, and activation of the translational machinery. With the use of the flooding dose technique with L-[3H]phenylalanine, morning protein synthesis in the pancreas of Institute for Cancer Res...

Objectives. The aim of the study is to compare the clinical effectiveness of the probiotics-Saccharomyces boulardii and Bifidobacterium lactis-in children who had been diagnosed with rotavirus gastroenteritis. Materials and methods. Seventy five patients aged between 5 months-5 years diagnosed as rotavirus gastroenteritis were included in the study. The patients diagnosed as rotavirus gastroent...

The localization of histidine decarboxylase (HDC) activity in the enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells of the oxyntic mucosa was studied during fasting and refeeding using monoclonal (CURE no. 44178) and polyclonal (CURE no. 94211) antibodies directed against the COOH terminus of HDC (HDC-CT). Changes in HDC immunostaining were correlated with mucosal HDC enzyme activity. Immunoneutralization of c...

this study investigated the effects of short-term fasting and re-feeding on hematological and immunological parameters of mesopotamichthys sharpeyi (günther, 1874) fingerlings. after 2 weeks of adaptation, 360 fish with an average initial body weight of 6.13±0.40g were distributed in nine 300-l circular fiberglass tanks provided with aeration system following a completely randomized design. the...

Evans, S. A., M. M. Messina, W. D. Knight, A. D. Parsons, and J. M. Overton. Long-Evans and Sprague-Dawley rats exhibit divergent responses to refeeding after caloric restriction. Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 288: R1468–R1476, 2005. First published February 3, 2005; doi:10.1152/ajpregu.00602.2004.—Mature male Sprague-Dawley (SD) and Long-Evans (LE) rats were instrumented with telemetr...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to describe the mode of refeeding, frequency of intolerance, and related factors in mild acute pancreatitis (AP). METHODS We included all cases of mild AP between January 2007 and December 2009 in an observational, descriptive, and retrospective study. We analyzed demographic and etiological data, admission variables, treatment, refeeding mode, intolerance frequenc...
