Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Serum lipid levels were determined in 30 children with kwashiorkor and in 30 healthy children of comparable age. The serum concentrations of unesterified and esterified cholesterol, albumin and the cholesterol esterifying activity (CEA) were also measured in children with kwashiorkor before treatment and after recovery. All serum lipid fractions were significantly lower in kwashiorkor than in the normal children. After treatment and recovery, serum lipid levels were comparable to those observed in normal children. There was also a significant increase in serum cholesterol esterifying activity (CEA) following recovery from kwashiorkor. |
