More than half of the world’s diseases can be attributed to unbalanced energy intake and to deficiencies in vitamins and mineral nutrients [1-3]. Developing countries pay the major tribute of it as they face serious health problems due to undernourishment of children and pregnant women [3]. Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM), also known as proteincalorie malnutrition, is currently the most serio...

A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET), a set of wirelessly connected sensor nodes, is a dynamic system that executes hop-by-hop routing independently with no external help of any infrastructure. Proper selection of cluster heads can increase the life time of the Ad-hoc network by decreasing the energy consumption. Although different methods have been successfully proposed by researchers to tackle...

the bulk of our knowledge on immunosuppression in malnutrition comes from the experiments done on cell-mediated immunity. however, malnutrition-induced modifications of humoral immunity have been less understood. the objective of this study was to determine the effects of acute protein-energy malnutrition on serum levels of immunoglobulins and their subclasses in murine models. male and female ...

Carnitine has a critical role in energy metabolism. Many of the functions of carnitine are not clearly elucidated and many of the regulatory mechanisms governing carnitine metabolism are ill-defined. Carnitine deficiency can be life threatening but may be resolved with carnitine supplementation. Various groups of individuals in addition to those with the classical carnitine deficiency syndrome ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of whole body C5a receptor (C5aR) deficiency on energy metabolism and fat storage. DESIGN Male wildtype (WT) and C5aR knockout (C5aRKO) mice were fed a low fat (CHOW) or a high fat high sucrose diet-induced obesity (DIO) diet for 14 weeks. Body weight and food intake were measured weekly. Indirect calorimetry, dietary fatload clearance, insulin and glucose ...

The fi-speetrum of tritimn is investigated between 0.5 key and the upper energy limit, 17.9 key. Detailed results near the low energy end and close to the upper limit are presented. The spectrum is shown to be simple and in reasonable agreement with Fermi theory. There is evidence of some deficiency in fi-rays of low energy. The best fit with theory is obtained for a neutrino mass/x=m/500 (re=e...

Creatine is a nitrogen containing compound that serves as an energy shuttle between the mitochondrial sites of ATP production and the cytosol where ATP is utilized. There are two known disorders of creatine synthesis (both transmitted as autosomal recessive traits: arginine: glycine amidinotransferase (AGAT) deficiency; OMIM 602360; and guanidinoacetate methyltransferase (GAMT) deficiency (OMIM...

Cardiac complications are the leading cause of mortality in patients with chronic renal failure. Secondary carnitine deficiency, which is frequently observed in hemodialysis patients, has been associated with cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure and may impair myocardial fatty acid oxidation. In chronic kidney disease, impaired carnitine homeostasis also may affect myocardial metabolism. In th...
