13. Metrical analysis of growth changes in the jaws and teeth of normal, protein deficient and calorie deficient pigs.
Weanling pigs were separated into three groups: control animals were allowed unlimited food; protein deficient animals were allowed unlimited carbohydrate or fat but restricted in protein intake; calorie deficient animals were restricted in total food intake. The skulls and teeth of animals killed at one year and at two years of age were measured from radiog

14. Enhancement of Susceptibility to Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 by Protein Calorie Malnutrition in Mice
Infection with Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli is increasing among children. In this study, 5-week-old C57BL/6 mice with protein calorie malnutrition (PCM) that had been fed a 5% protein diet for 2 weeks since ablactation were inoculated intragastrically with 2 × 106 CFU of Stx-producing E. coli O157:H7. More than 75% of infec

15. Cell-mediated immunity in malnourished guinea pigs after Mycobacterium bovis BCG vaccination.
Specific-pathogen-free guinea pigs were vaccinated with viable Mycobacterium bovis BCG and maintained on purified, isocaloric diets containing either 30% or 7.5% casein, or commercial chow. At intervals of 4, 5, 6, and 8 weeks postvaccination, groups of guinea pigs from each diet treatment were skin tested with purified protein derivative and killed. Protein

16. Intradialytic parenteral nutrition improves protein and energy homeostasis in chronic hemodialysis patients
Decreased dietary protein intake and hemodialysis-associated protein catabolism are among several factors that predispose chronic hemodialysis (CHD) patients to protein calorie malnutrition. Since attempts to increase protein intake by dietary counseling are usually ineffective, intradialytic parenteral nutrition (IDPN) has been proposed as a potential thera

17. Corneal ulceration following measles in Nigerian children.
Acute corneal ulceration in malnourished children is the commonest cause of childhood blindness in Northern Nigeria and usually develops after measles. Other severe diseases in malnourished children rarely precipitate corneal ulceration. A survey in a school for blind children showed that 69% of the children were blind from corneal disease, and a survey of c

18. Innate Lung Defenses and Compromised Pseudomonas aeruginosa Clearance in the Malnourished Mouse Model of Respiratory Infections in Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized by dysfunction of the digestive and respiratory tracts resulting in generalized malnutrition and chronic respiratory infections. Chronic lung infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, intense neutrophil-dominated airway inflammation, and progressive lung disease are the major cause of high morbidity and mortality in CF. He

19. Adaptation of the growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-I axis to chronic and severe calorie or protein malnutrition.
The hierarchy of diet components (e.g., protein, carbohydrate, vitamins, and minerals) influencing growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), and their binding proteins (BP) is not well defined. Young adult rats were fed diets for 1 mo that included low protein or 60% and 40% of carbohydrate calories. We hypothesized that levels of both hormo

20. Decreased serum insulin-like growth factor-I associated with growth failure in newborn lambs with experimental cyanotic heart disease.
To determine whether chronic hypoxemia results in alterations in endocrine function that may contribute to growth failure, we measured growth hormone (GH), somatomedins (insulin-like growth factors I and II, IGF-I and IGF-2), hepatic growth hormone receptors, and circulating IGF-binding proteins IGFBP-3 and IGFBP-2 in 12 newborn lambs with surgically created

21. Body composition and surgical treatment of obesity. Effects of weight loss on fluid distribution.
Obesity is associated with absolute and relative expansion of the extracellular water compartment (ECW). The effects of substantial and prolonged weight reduction on body water distribution are unknown, however. The authors studied total body water (TBW) by tritiated water dilution, ECW by 35SO4 dilution, exchangeable sodium (Na(e)) by 24Na, and total body p
