OBJECTIVE
To determine serum zinc (Zn), total anti-oxidant capacity (TAC), malondialdehyde (MDA), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and albumin in protein energy malnutrition (PEM) and to analyse the appropriateness of using low weight-for-age for detecting childhood under-nutrition.
METHODS
This study
BACKGROUND
This study was designed to evaluate the ameliorative and hypocholesterolemic effects of dietary supplementation of Cnidoscolus aconitifolius leaf meal (CALM) on hepatic injury and kidney injury associated with protein energy malnutrition (PEM).
METHODS
In this study, PEM was induced in
To evaluate the role of gestational protein-energy malnutrition on fetal hard-tissue growth and metabolism, we measured several variables in the growth centres of mandibles and long bones of newborn rats. Control pups and pups of malnourished dams had approximately the same extent of reduction in
Six serum enzymes, alkaline phosphatase, cholinesterase, lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase were studied in 30 cases of protein energy malnutrition (PEM). The mean serum values of alkaline phosphatase, cholinesterase and
The activities of several lysosomal hydrolases including beta-glucuronidase, acid phosphatase and hexosaminidase were compared in serum from 19 well-nourished subjects and 13 children (age 5--24 months) who were suffering from marasmus. The marasmic children exhibited growth retardation and muscle
I. In three separate experiments, four groups of five to eight young male rats were fed either (i) a high-protein diet, for which the net dietary protein:total metabolizable energy ratio (NDp:E) was 0-1 (HP diet); or (ii) a low-protein diet, for which NDp:E was 0-04 (LP diet). In both these groups,
Infectious diarrheal diseases and protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) are major causes of child morbidity and mortality worldwide. In the present study, PEM was superimposed on rotavirus infection in neonatal pigs to simulate chronic small intestinal stress in malnourished infants with viral
1. Enzymes pertinent to bactericidal activities of leucocytes were assayed in children suffering from protein-calorie malnutrition. 2. Leucocytes obtained from malnourished and control children contained similar activities for glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase.
Mild to moderate protein energy malnutrition (PEM) was induced in young developing rhesus monkeys by giving them half of the casein-based synthetic diet which was given to control animals. After a body weight reduction of 30-40%, the PEM animals were sacrificed. The small intestine was removed,
We report a case of acquired protein energy malnutrition with associated zinc deficiency in an 18-month-old boy with type 1 glutaric acidemia. Physical examination findings included generalized nonpitting edema, widespread desquamative plaques, and sparse hair with a reddish tinge. Laboratory
A monkey model has been set up for protein calorie malnutrition and calcium deficiency. Oral exposure of 5ppm Cd/kg body wt./day for 24 weeks led to increased excretion of Cd, metallothionein (MT) and zinc. Rehabilitation of PCM monkeys for one year resulted in gradual reduction and finally complete
In this study, we compared results obtained in protein calorie malnourished (PCM) monkeys and controls given Cd2+ (5 mg Cd2+/kg body wt./day) orally for 24 weeks. After 16 weeks of Cd2+ exposure, an indolent renal failure develops in PCM monkeys which resulted in significant increase in urinary
Liver enzymes alkaline phosphatase and transaminases (GPT & GOT) were studied in cases of protein-depleted rats. Alkaline phosphatase activities were determined with and without Mg addition to the incumedia, since it is the essential metal for this enzyme. The liver transaminases were also
The effect of a low protein (1%) diet (protein-deficient diet) and a low protein-calorie diet (restricted diet) on the activity of the hydrolytic enzymes acid ribonuclease, acid deoxiribonuclease, acid and alkaline phosphatases and beta-glucuronidase has been studied in the liver of Wistar rts.
The effect of severe malnutrition and protein deficiency on small intestine has been documented, but the literature on the effect of mild-to-moderate protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) on small intestine is scant. Mild-to-moderate PEM is most prevalent in India. Twenty-four young rhesus monkeys
