protein-energy malnutrition/カリウム

Early insulin release after oral glucose is absent in protein-calorie malnutrition (PCM). There is an increase of the insulin-glucose ratio at 10 and 15 min induced by potassium supplementation compared to a similar group receiving an identical diet without supplementary potassium. This suggests

The serum immunoreactive insulin (IRI) concentrations, and glucose dissappearance rate-constants after intravenous glucose administration were measured on admission and during recovery in children suffering from protein-energy malnutrition (PEM). 2. A high potassium intake resulted in a considerable

The total body potassium (TBK) and potassium retention were measured during the early stages of recovery of malnourished children on three levels of potassium intake. A potassium intake of 2 mEq/kg/day resulted in significantly greater potassium retention than one of 3 mEq/kg/day. A higher level of

The total body potassium (TBK) and serum electrolyte concentrations of malnourished children in Cape Town are similar to those in Jamaica. The TBK is almost always low and hyponatraemia is common, but there was no relationship between the TBK and serum Na and K concentrations. These abnormalities,

Golden and Ramdath proposed the free radical theory of kwashiorkor, suggesting that the changes seen in kwashiorkor may be the result of an imbalance between the production and safe disposal of free radicals. In malnourished children, mineral metabolism and antioxidant status need renewed attention

To investigate the effect of chronic protein-calorie malnutrition on intestinal repair after an enteric infection, we examined small intestinal structure, enzyme activity, and sodium transport in undernourished piglets during the acute and convalescent phases of a viral enteritis, transmissible

Studies of red cell metabolism, erythropoeitin concentration, iron and folate status were made in 48 children with protein-energy malnutrition in Johannesburg (altitude 1800 m). Biochemical evidence of iron deficiency was presented in 26% cases on admission and developed in 90% during recovery.

Erythrocyte glycolysis has been studied in the anaemia associated with protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) in Kivu. Several results were compatible with a lowering of the mean age of the erythrocyte population, notably raised levels of glucose-6-phosphate, hexokinase, Na+-K+- adenosinetriphosphatases

We studied the plasma electrolyte pattern of children with prolonged diarrhoea and Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) as compared to controls to show the values to be expected and to determine the need for replacement therapy. Sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate values were found to be

Plasma renin activity was found to be correlated positively with muscle water content and the presence of oedema in rats with protein energy malnutrition, whereas the muscle potassium content showed a negative correlation with muscle water content. Malnourished rats also showed an inability to
