“…The com-position of fatty acids in cirrhotic patients resembles that found in situations of linoleic acid deficiency (24)(25)(26)(27). It is known that patients with hepatobiliary disease suffer frequently from an anorexic, emetic and nauseous state, which in chronic situation can lead to severe malnutrition (28). In fact, the anthropometric estimation (29) of the two cirrhotic subgroups (data not shown) indicated that 50% of the uncompensated were clearly undernourished, while the rest were poorly nourished.…”

Summary: Liver damage and alterations in the exocrine function of the gland lead to a profound alteration of the plasma lipoprotein profile. To determine whether hepatic disease results in changes in the lipoprotein fatty acid composition, i. e. to determine whether liver function influences the homeostasis of complex lipids in plasma, we studied the fatty acid profile of lipids from VLDL, LDL and HDL, as well as from total plasma, in thirty-one patients of both sexes with hepatobiliary pathology (compensated liver cirrhosis, uncompensated liver cirrhosis, primary biliary cirrhosis, other intrahepatic cholestasis, and acute viral hepatitis). We also studied a group of healthy adults as controls. We present the lipoprotein profile and the fatty acid composition (myristic C14, palmitic C16, palmitoleic C16 : 1, stearic CIS, oleic CIS : 1, linoleic CIS : 2, eicosatrienoic C20 : 3co6 and arachidonic C20 : 4) of lipoprotein and total plasma triacylglycerols, cholesteryl esters and phospholipids. The main observation of this study is that, despite the profound changes in the lipoprotein profile and the lower abundance of polyunsaturated fatty acids in complex lipids, the composition of all triagylglycerols, cholesteryl esters and phospholipids is very similar for the corresponding lipoproteins of patients with hepatobiliary disease and of control subjects. This indicates that in the controls as in the studied patients, the exchange of lipids between plasmatic lipoproteins is very rapid and demonstrates the possible importance of the extrahepatic synthesis of cholesteryl ester transfer protein.

An evaluation of the capacity of the Cuban Nutrition Program for covering the energy requirements of children was carried out in children 5.0 ± 1.0 years of age in a rural mountain community in Cuba. Five males and six females (19 ± 3.05 kg average weight) with a mean BMI 15.4 ± 2.2 kg/m 2) were included in the study. Six of the subjects were well-nourished, three were undernourished, and two were overweight. Total energy expenditure was determined by the doubly-labeled water technique. Resting metabolic rate was measured by indirect calorimetry. Energy intake, measured by a three-day weighed dietary record, was 1,527 kcal/day (6.39 MJ). The total energy expenditure of the well-nourished children was 11.8% lower than present energy recommendations (1,773 kcal). This implies that well-nourished children who are moderately to heavily physically active require 82.6 kcal/kg per day. The physical activity level of normal Cuban children is nearly 1.8, which is much higher than that reported in studies of children from industrialized countries using the doubly-labeled water technique. The measured daily energy intake was 1.7 times the resting metabolic rate RMR and 1.04 times the total energy expenditure.

Changes in body fat, fat-free mass and extracellular water occur in many disorders, and during normal growth in children. Thus, body composition is an increasingly important measurement in paediatric clinical practice, and is used for diagnostic purposes, for decisions for treatment and for monitoring improvement. A number of different methods exist for determining body composition in children; however, their use is complicated by the absence of a gold standard and the lack of validity data in children both with and without growth disorders. In this report, validity and usefulness are compared among anthropometric methods and weighted against other techniques used in children. Recent recommendations of a number of expert committees are discussed.
