Metabolic adaptation in protein-energy malnutrition

S. Frenk

The metabolic response to chronic undernutrition covers a wide spectrum that ranges from decreased growth velocity in mild cases to profound distortion of body silhouette and composition and functional derangements in advanced stages of the protein-energy malnutrition-infection complex. A wide gamut of molecular, enzymatic, and hormonal processes assure a temporary availability of endogenous nutrients and the maintenance of vital functions.
