Lipid, protein and carbohydrate metabolism was studied in patients with alimentary obesity as was the effect on that metabolism of the diets containing horseflesh and beef. The majority of the obese patients showed an increased content of all lipid fractions (phospholipids, cholesterol, free fatty
METHODS
This study addresses the effects of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) on global gene expression in liver and skeletal muscle and the molecular mechanisms underlying the improvement in liver cirrhosis using DNA microarray analysis combined with RNase protection assay.
RESULTS
Male Wistar rats

The Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) has been reported as a sensitive prognostic marker for gastric cancer. This study aimed to investigate whether the GPS is equally applicable to patients with early-stage and advanced-stage gastric cancers.

Deterioration in nutritional status occurs late in the progress of cancers at certain sites, but at all stages in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Weight loss with decrease in body fat and muscle wastage, occurs to a varying degree. Superficially, the clinical condition resembles simple food
We report on five girls (including monozygotic twins) with a newly recognized disease comprising severe neurologic disturbances, variable hepatomegaly, abnormal subcutaneous fat distribution and skeletal anomalies. The neurologic picture was characterized by moderate to severe psychomotor
Ten cases of primary upper small-intestinal lymphoma associated with alpha-chain protein in serum were discovered in a prospective study of the sera of patients with immunoproliferative small-intestinal disease (IPSID). Patients were mostly young males presenting with abdominal pain, weight loss,
An 8-month-old male infant who presented in the neonatal period with failure to thrive, bilateral pleural and pericardial effusions, and hepatic insufficiency characterized by elevated liver functions tests and hypoalbuminemia was found at autopsy to have an unusual combination of
We studied the effect of the addition of an oral nutrition supplement (ONS) on the rate of hypoglyemia among hospitalized type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients.In this retrospective analysis, all DM patients with hypoalbuminemia (albumin < 3.5 g/dL) The controversy regarding the relative importance of protein vs energy deficiency in the genesis of kwashiorkor has not been resolved by studies of protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) in developing countries. Cases of edematous PEM (n = 29) in North America on the other hand provide clear indications
The authors review the anesthesiology problems in hepatic patients on the one hand, and on the other hand they present their personal experience in anesthesia of patients with jaundice, upper digestive haemorrhage and hepatic coma. The conclusions of the study are the following: 1. The major hepatic
Kwashiorkor is part of the spectrum of protein-energy malnutrition. The condition results from a lack of nutritional protein coupled with carbohydrate excess. Protein malnutrition is much more common in the Third World; however, it is also the most common form of nutritional deficiency among
Infantile olivopontocerebellar atrophies are rare progressive, fatal, neurologic conditions characterized pathologically by loss of neurons and gliosis in the cerebellum, pons, and inferior olivary nuclei in early life. The clinical and pathologic features of 2 brothers who presented in early
OBJECTIVE
Metastatic biliary tract cancer (mBTC) has a dismal prognosis. In this study, an independent dataset of patients with mBTC was used to implement and validate a routine clinico-laboratory parameter-based scoring model for risk group identification.
METHODS
From September 2006 to February
The liver is the major organ for the metabolism of protein, fat and carbohydrate. A nutritional approach is required in the treatment of cirrhosis, which is frequently complicated with protein-energy malnutrition. Several advanced treatment approaches for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have been
This study was aimed to investigate the nutritional status and the role of diabetes mellitus in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Anthropometric, biochemical, and dietary assessments for HD 110 patients (46 males and 64 females) were conducted. Mean body mass index (BMI) was 22.1 kg/m(2) and prevalence of
