Muscle Catabolism During A Protein Sparing Modified Fast As Measured By Urinary 3-Methylhistidine, Judith D. Nielsen
Muscle Catabolism During A Protein Sparing Modified Fast As Measured By Urinary 3-Methylhistidine, Judith D. Nielsen
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The urinary excretion of 3-Methylhistidine was used as an index of muscle catabolism in four groups of obese persons receiving a Protein Sparing Modified Fast (PSMF). The composition of the supplements were as follows: Group I: 75 g protein, 25 g complex carbohydrate (starch) per day; Group II: 25 g protein, 75 g complex carbohydrate (starch) per day; Group III: 75 g protein, 25 g simple carbohydrate (glucose) per day; Group IV: 25 g protein, 75 g simple carbohydrate (glucose) per day. The PSMF lasted for seven days and a 24-hour urine sample was collected at the beginning of the …

The Role Of The Parotid Salivary Glands In The Regulation Of Insulin Secretion, Kenneth L. Millard
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Stress of handling, partial or complete sialoadenectomy, and the administration of parotid hormone (PH), sodium fluoride (NaF), or guanidino-succinic acid (GSA) were examined for effects on fasting plasma glucose and insulin or effects on intravenous glucose tolerance in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Basal glucose and insulin were substantially elevated as a result of the stress of translocation in large animals, but were not altered in small animals. A rise in plasma insulin occured in control animals 20 minutes following anesthesia and the removal of a blood sample by cardiac puncture but not in animals that had been handled twice daily for …
