Balance experiments were carried out on 6 children being treated for kwashiorkor. The intakes and excretions of N, fat, Na, K, Ca, Mg, P, Cu, Zn, Mn, and Cr were measured. The absorptions were all thought to be in the normal range and the retentions were high. The stools were bulky and contained much undetermined matter, probably unavailable carbohydrate derived from the matooke which formed part of their diet. In the light of previous and present findings the ratios of K/N and Mg/N retained, though higher than those found in muscle or in the whole body, cannot be taken to mean that the children were K or Mg deficient.
对6名正在接受夸休可尔症治疗的儿童进行了平衡实验。测量了氮、脂肪、钠、钾、钙、镁、磷、铜、锌、锰和铬的摄入量和排泄量。所有物质的吸收均被认为在正常范围内,且潴留量较高。粪便量多,含有大量未确定物质,可能是其饮食中作为一部分的马托基(一种香蕉)衍生出的不可利用碳水化合物。根据以往和目前的研究结果,尽管所保留的钾/氮和镁/氮比率高于在肌肉或全身中发现的比率,但不能就此认为这些儿童存在钾或镁缺乏的情况。
