alloxan and Protein-Energy Malnutrition

alloxan has been researched along with Protein-Energy Malnutrition in 1 studies

Alloxan: Acidic compound formed by oxidation of URIC ACID. It is isolated as an efflorescent crystalline hydrate.
alloxan : A member of the class of pyrimidones, the structure of which is that of perhydropyrimidine substituted at C-2, -4, -5 and -6 by oxo groups.

Protein-Energy Malnutrition: The lack of sufficient energy or protein to meet the body's metabolic demands, as a result of either an inadequate dietary intake of protein, intake of poor quality dietary protein, increased demands due to disease, or increased nutrient losses.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Alloxan was almost ineffective in producing diabetes in the two low-protein groups (frequencies of diabetes = 0/11 and 3/11 for the 4% casein diets without and with cysteine, respectively) but was highly effective in the control group (100% diabetogenesis)."1.26Lack of diabetogenic effect of alloxan in protein-calorie malnourished rats.
