Fatty Liver in Children—Kwashiorkor

The Relationship of Triacylglycerol and Starch Accumulation to Carbon and Energy Flows During Nutrient Deprivation in Chlamydomonas.

“…TAG accumulation in the dark was also significant, although net fatty acid accumulation was modest compared to cultures in the light. Indeed, heterotrophic cells from taxa as diverse as fungi bacteria and mammals have been shown to accumulate TAG under nutrient deprivation (Alvarez and Steinbüchel, 2002;Frenk et al, 1958;Packter and Olukoshi, 1995;Morin et al, 2011;Murphy, 2001). Second, the OH links growth before nutrient deprivation to TAG production afterward; initially, we examine carbon balances.…”

Biochemical Effects of Protein-Calorie Malnutrition in Man

“…Body water : Total body water is increased in relation to weight, sur face area, expected weight for height, or tissue solids in malnourished in fants and children with protein-calorie malnutrition or Kwashiorkor, when measured by TaO (88,89), D20 (90 chemical analysis of the body (80,92), or muscle (93)(94)(95)(96)(97). Total body water (TBW) as a percentage of body weight or of ideal weight for age in malnour ished preschool children is increased in proportion to the degree of weight retardation (87,89) .…”

“…Neither chemical nor isotope dilution techniques in vivo, utilizing Na2SOa (89,91) or SCN (92) for estimate of ECW, permit the assessment of water distribution of specific tissues. For example, skin and subcutaneous tissues are predominantly EC phase organs and the major tissue reservoir of edema fluid (91,95,96) . Muscle contains the largest portion of the ICW.…”

“…Muscle contains the largest portion of the ICW. In PCM there is a marked increase of ECW (94) or both ECW and ICW in muscle (95,96) . A marked increase of the intracellular phase at the expense of the extracellular phase of muscle was noted in children who died suddenly, and the pattern was reversed with recovery (96) .…”

Diet and Coronary Artery Disease

“…or less and both a-anid /8-lipoproteiiis are decreased) . [59][60][61] The hypocholesteremia of the child with kwashiorkor responds promptly to the feeding of fat-free miilk proteins and suggests strongly that dietary fat is not the critical nultrient related to this hypocholesteremia. In fact, it supports Circulation, Volume XXII, September 1960 the view that serum lipoproteins are not elaborated by the human at normal rates in the presence of protein deficiency.…”
