Concentrations of free and acylcarnitine were measured in serum of children with kwashiorkor and compared with those obtained for well nourished children of similar age. The mean values (S.E.) for both free and acylcarnitine were significantly lower in the kwashiorkor group [32.6 (6.2) and 8.1 (2.2), respectively] than in the controls [53.2 (2.9) and 13.8 (3.1), respectively]. Serum albumin was also low in kwashiorkor patients, but there was no significant correlation with carnitine values.
对患有夸休可尔症的儿童血清中的游离肉碱和酰基肉碱浓度进行了测量,并与年龄相仿的营养良好儿童的测量结果进行了比较。夸休可尔症组的游离肉碱和酰基肉碱的平均值(标准误)[分别为32.6(6.2)和8.1(2.2)]显著低于对照组[分别为53.2(2.9)和13.8(3.1)]。夸休可尔症患者的血清白蛋白也较低,但与肉碱值无显著相关性。
