Autophagy is a conserved catabolic process that degrades cytoplasmic constituents and organelles in the lysosome. Starvation-induced protein degradation is a salient feature of autophagy but ...

Malnutrition in adults follows two major pathological pathways — nutrient deprivation and inflammation-induced anorexia with tissue catabolism — and can be divided into disease-related ...

This patient is suffering from protein–energy malnutrition (PEM), a pathologic depletion of the body's lean tissues caused by starvation, or a combination of starvation and catabolic stress. In this ...

Malnutrition in cancer patients may result from tumor masses in the gastrointestinal tract that obstruct ... increasing ...

Muscle wasting, also termed protein-energy wasting (PEW), is a state of metabolic and nutritional derangements that is closely associated with high morbidity and mortality in CKD patients ...

In more severe cases, a 2020 study suggests that if starvation persists after fat stores create energy, protein catabolism occurs (energy provision from cellular processes to body movements ...

Zinc Protects Against Inflammation, Malnutrition, and Oxidative Damage. Grissim Clark Connery, MS, RD | Publish Date June 1, 2013 . Improved protein catabolic rate ...

The catecholamine-mediated hypermetabolic response to severe burns causes increased energy expenditure and muscle-protein catabolism. We hypothesized that blockade of β-adrenergic stimulation ...

Death results from general and deep catabolism (breaking down) of all body processes. The well nourished adult on a complete fast loses from 28 to 35 oz. weight daily. That is about 1% or 1 1/2 ...
