There are some apparently very discordant findings in the literature about the effect of
undernutrition on oxygen consumption and the metabolic requirements for subsequent …

The thyroid function was evaluated in two comparable groups of 12 protein-calorie
malnourished children respectively by oral and intravenous test using radioiodine 131 I …

For part 1, unnumbered, see Abst. 3090, Vol. 37. 2. Continuous N balance studies were
made, using 3-day collections of urine, faeces and food, on 16 infants with growth failure …

The energy metabolism of 37 infants with growth failure and malnutrition was investigated,
by use of the insensible loss of weight (IL) as the index of metabolic rate. The IL was …

Thyroid hormone levels have been determined in nutritionally normal infants and in infants
with marasmus or marasmic kwashiorkor. In the normal subjects, serum thyroxine is higher …

The biological half-life of thyroxine (T 4) in a group of seven protein-calorie malnourished
(PCM) children maintained under steady state conditions is significantly decreased as …

Measurements of basal metabolic rate (BMR) were done in children suffering from
kwashiorkor, marasmus, and in children with ocular signs of vitamin A deficiency. BMR was …

Rats were fed on low iron diets containing 5, 10 and 30% protein. All animals demonstrated
typical iron deficiency. Body size was reduced as protein intake decreased. The severity of …

Montgomery1 and Monckeberg2 have observed altered levels of oxygen consumption by
malnourished infants before and during therapy of nutritional deficits. There are indirect …

Extract: These studies were designed to define alterations in erythropoiesis that resulted
from prolonged and controlled caloric deprivation. The caloric deprivation in the animal …
