An experimental model of protein-calorie malnutrition (PCM) has been successfully produced in young rhesus monkeys. The model showed close resemblance to the energy kinetics of the brain as observed in human PCM inasmuch as oxygen consumption was decreased while glucose uptake was increased. The cerebral blood flow was also diminished. The observations suggest that a significant part of glucose is perhaps diverted to long-chain fatty acids, etc.
一种蛋白质 - 热量营养不良（PCM）的实验模型已在幼年恒河猴中成功建立。该模型与人类PCM中观察到的大脑能量动力学非常相似，因为耗氧量减少而葡萄糖摄取增加。脑血流量也减少。这些观察结果表明，很大一部分葡萄糖可能被转移用于合成长链脂肪酸等。
