Disease relevance of Nutrition Disorders

• The common causes of polyneuropathy were excluded, but in all cases a nutritional disorder was detected, based on laboratory values of proteins, serum albumin and transferrin [1].
• Tetracycline absorption was studied in a group of normal healthy subjects and in adult male patients suffering from various nutritional disorders such as protein-calorie malnutrition, pellagra, anaemia, and vitamin B-complex deficiency [2].
• A number of drugs are known to cause QT prolongation (e.g., terfenadine), as are hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, myocarditis, and endocrine and nutritional disorders [3].

High impact information on Nutrition Disorders

• Chronic nutritional disorders such as protein malnutrition are associated with delayed gastric emptying and increased postprandial cholecystokinin (CCK) levels [4].
• In addition, the normal reverse triiodothyronine levels suggest the possibility of two mechanisms existing, whereby T3 levels may be lowered in nutritional disorders [5].
• By contrast, nutritional disorders did not modify antioxidant levels during acute exacerbations [6].
• Regulation of lean body mass anabolism/catabolism at the level of the GHBP/receptor provides a rational explanation for the derangements in the GH axis and their biological consequences (retarded or accelerated somatic growth) observed in nutrition disorders [7].
• Composition of calculi--at least 95% calcium salts and a degraded form of lithostathine S (formerly called PSP S2-5)--was similar in the Occidental alcoholic and in the tropical form: calcified calculi are probably related to alcohol and nutritional disorders [8].

Chemical compound and disease context of Nutrition Disorders

• Prevalence of various nutritional disorders was 47.42%, anaemia and vitamin A deficiency were the commonest among them [9].

Gene context of Nutrition Disorders

• Reduced calcium and vitamin D availability, with resultant secondary hyperparathyroidism, is another important mechanism of bone loss in nutritional disorders [10].
• 4. In practice, a subnormal B12 level is a valuable pointer not only to unsuspected pernicious anaemia but also to other gastrointestinal or nutritional disorders [11].
