“…The high levels of FFA in the SC are similar to those seen in patients with kwashiorkor [12]. In patients with marasmus, Lewis et al [12] found raised FFA levels also, whereas Hadden [7] reported low levels of FFA.…”

“…In patients with marasmus, Lewis et al [12] found raised FFA levels also, whereas Hadden [7] reported low levels of FFA. In this study, the fasting FFA levels in the four infants ill with marasmus were greater than the mean of the group, being 738, 920, 1000, and 1409 moles/liter.…”

“…The fasting FFA were much higher than those of normal infants of comparable age or size, or those of the same infants after partial rehabilitation. This is compatible with the reports of others in marasmus (21,24,31) and in hypotrophic newborn infants (I, 29). The more normal fasting FFA found by some investigators (16,17) may have been due to differences in age or in dietary management before study; high carbohydrate feedings usually suppress elevated x SEM patients with low serum albumin, but did not specify the timing of the studies (44).…”

“…The normal fasting FFA of MK in our study are not in accord with others (24,31). Our oldest control group was considerably younger than the patients with MK; more appropriate control subjects might have had lower levels.…”

“…Although fatty liver tends to be comorbid with obesity or being over-weight, a considerable non-obese normal and under-weight population are known to have fatty liver and suffer from abnormalities in liver function and insulin resistance 7) . For example, excessive dietary restriction or malnutrition can lead to fat accumulation in the liver in underweight individuals, as in kwashiorkor, a form of severe protein malnutrition, which is caused by a protein imbalance 8) . Fatty liver also appears in metabolically or genetically susceptible populations with normal body weight 9,10) .…”
