The objectives of this study are:(1) to understand the importance of nutrition in normal
growth;(2) to review the methods of assessing nutritional status;(3) to review the dietary …

Children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at risk of protein-energy malnutrition.
Existing clinical practice guidelines recognize this and recommend specific methods to …

Environmental pH exerts broad control over growth and differentiation, but the molecular
responses to external pH changes are poorly understood. Here we have used open reading …

Abstract The monoterpene 1, 8-cineole is a major constituent of the essential oils that
adversely influence intake of sagebrush by herbivores, but little is known about the …

A variety of genetic, mechano-response-related, endocrine-metabolic, and nutritional
determinants impact bone health. Among the nutritional influences, protein intake and …

There have been inconsistent reports regarding the association between dietary acid load
and Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). We aimed to investigate the association between dietary …

Context: Diet can impact on bone strength via metabolic shifts in acid-base status. In contrast
to the strongly diet-dependent biomarker urinary potential renal acid load (uPRAL), the …

The acid–ash hypothesis states that when there are excess blood protons, bone is eroded to
provide alkali to buffer the net acidity and maintain physiologic pH. There is concern that …

Metabolic acidosis is a condition that is commonly encountered in both chronic renal failure
(CRF) and in end‐stage renal disease (ESRD). Known complications and surmised …

Acidosis is a classic uremic toxin that causes protein catabolism, mainly by selective
breakdown of skeletal muscle protein. However, the importance of acidosis is often …
