glycerol and Kwashiorkor

glycerol has been researched along with Kwashiorkor in 3 studies

Moon: The natural satellite of the planet Earth. It includes the lunar cycles or phases, the lunar month, lunar landscapes, geography, and soil.

Kwashiorkor: A syndrome produced by severe protein deficiency, characterized by retarded growth, changes in skin and hair pigment, edema, and pathologic changes in the liver, including fatty infiltration, necrosis, and fibrosis. The word is a local name in Gold Coast, Africa, meaning displaced child. Although first reported from Africa, kwashiorkor is now known throughout the world, but mainly in the tropics and subtropics. It is considered to be related to marasmus. (From Dorland, 27th ed)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The fatty liver often found in untreated kwashiorkor has been associated with highly variable concentration of circulating lipids."5.26Dietary effects in the early recovery phase of kwashiorkor. Plasma levels of triglycerides, FFA, D-beta-hydroxybutyrate, glycerol, postheparin lipoprotein lipase (LPL), glucose and insulin. ( Habte, D; Persson, B; Sterky, G, 1976)
"Glycerol concentration and flux (index of total lipolysis), palmitate concentration and flux (index of net lipolysis), and palmitate oxidation rate (index of fatty acid oxidation) were measured in 8 children (n = 5 boys and 3 girls) with kwashiorkor and 7 (n = 4 boys and 3 girls) with marasmus, aged 4-20 mo, in the postabsorptive state."5.12Lipid kinetic differences between children with kwashiorkor and those with marasmus. ( Badaloo, AV; Forrester, T; Jahoor, F; Reid, M, 2006)
