Loss of appetite is part of the so-called "sickness behavior", which is a uniform reaction to many diseases, mainly triggered by inflammatory signals. Whereas this pattern may have been an evolutionary advantage long time ago, loss of appetite with consecutive malnutrition nowadays represents more a collateral damage of many acute and chronic diseases ...

Protein-Energy Malnutrition (P-EM)
1983Several authors [2,3,4,5,11,13] have described the morphological jejunal mucosal appearances in P-EM (marasmus, kwashiorkor) of children in underdeveloped countries. These vary from near normal to a subtotal villous atrophy, although the most common histological picture is a partial villous atrophy (Fig. 4.1 a).

Abstract A 22-month-old male child was seen in a pediatric clinic in the United States (Carvalho et al., 2001). He had been suffering from intermittent skin eczema since 2 weeks of age. After weaning at 13 months of age, he was given cow’s milk, and several episodes of vomiting were observed soon after.

Three-quarters of the world’s population live in developing countries. About a fifth of the population in these countries is represented by preschool children who bear the main brunt of malnutrition. It has been estimated that in 1966, of the 667 million children under 14 years living in developing countries, 269 million were undernourished (Bengoa ...

This chapter focuses on malnutrition. People, young or old, who eat less food than they usually eat and need, lose body weight. The deficit of energy (or calories) in the diet is made up by drawing on the body's energy reserves: first fat, later muscle. Undernutrition can be mild or severe, beneficial (in someone who was obese) or dangerous.

Genome Editing and Protein Energy Malnutrition
2022Protein-energy malnutrition is a state of disordered catabolism resulting from metabolic derangements or starvation. It is associated with chronic disease, hypoglycemia, hypothermia, serious infections, and even an increased prevalence of morbidity and mortality in countries with poor socioeconomic or environmental factors. Adequate food administration

Endotoxemia in Protein-Energy Malnutrition
Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 1988The plasma endotoxin levels of 16 severely malnourished Thai children were determined by the Limulus amebocyte lysate assay. Endotoxemia was present in seven children (44%) on admission to the hospital and was associated with the coexistence of vitamin A deficiency. Protein-energy malnutrition is associated with the presence of endotoxemia.

Pepsins in Protein-Energy Malnutrition
Enzyme, 1988This study reports on basal gastric pepsins in 40 normal, kwashiorkor and marasmic children admitted to the paediatric wards of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Nigeria. The activity of total pepsin was significantly depressed in the diseased states. The various fractions of pepsin separated on ion-exchange chromatography also showed dramatic
