The effect of total starvation and very low energy diet in lean men on kinetics of whole body protein and five hepatic secretory proteins (2007)

Afolabi, Paul R., Jahoor, Farook, Jackson, Alan A., Stubbs, James, Johnstone, Alexander M., Faber, Peter, ...

It is unclear whether the rate of weight loss, independent of magnitude, affects whole body protein metabolism and the synthesis and plasma concentrations of specific hepatic secretory proteins. We...

Pathophysiology of Adipocyte Defects and Dyslipidemia in HIV Lipodystrophy: New Evidence from Metabolic and Molecular Studies (2006)

Farook Jahoor, Henry J. Pownall, Dorothy Lewis

Despite a burgeoning mass of descriptive information regarding the epidemiology, clinical features, body composition changes, hormonal alterations and dyslipidemic patterns in patients with HIV...

Synthesis of erythrocyte glutathione in healthy adults consuming the safe amount of dietary protein (2004)

Jackson, Alan A., Gibson, Neil R., Lu, Yi, Jahoor, Farook

Background: The finding that plasma glutathione turnover decreases as dietary protein intake decreases suggests that the safe amount of dietary protein, although sufficient for maintenance of...

Response of hepatic proteins to the lowering of habitual dietary protein to the recommended safe level of intake (2004)

Afolabi, Paul R., Jahoor, Farook, Gibson, Neil R., Jackson, Alan A.

The plasma concentrations of albumin, HDL apolipoprotein A1 (apoA1), retinol-binding protein (RBP), transthyretin (TTR), haptoglobulin, and fibrinogen were measured, and a stable isotope infusion...

Endogenous glycine and tyrosine production is maintained in adults consuming a marginal-protein diet (2002)

Gibson, Neil R., Jahoor, Farook, Ware, Lisa, Jackson, Alan A.

Background: The adequacy of indispensable amino acid supplies has received much attention in studies of protein requirements, but the availability of nitrogen for synthesis and maintenance of the...

Pharmacological Sparing of Protein and Glucose in Burn Injury and/or Sepsis. (2002)

Wolfe,Robert R., Jahoor,Farook, Herndon,David N.

The metabolic effect of lowering glucagon concentration in severely burned patients by means of somatostatin infusion was assessed. In one case the insulin concentration was also decreased (by virtue...

Synthesis of hepatic secretory proteins in normal adults consuming a diet marginally adequate in protein (2001)

Jackson, Alan A., Phillips, Gary, McClelland, Irene, Jahoor, Farook

The plasma concentration and hepatic synthesis rates of albumin, transthyretin, very low-density lipoprotein apolipoprotein B-100 (VLDL-apoB-100), high-density lipoprotein apolipoprotein A-1,...

Pharmacological Sparing of Protein in Burn Injury. (1998)

Wolfe, Robert R., Jahoor, Farook, Herndon, David N.

To test the responsiveness of protein kinetics to hyperinsulinemia and the maximum biological effectiveness of insulin to stimulate glucose uptake in severely burned and septic patients, isotopes of...

In vivo urea cycle flux distinguishes and correlates with phenotypic severity in disorders of the urea cycle

Lee, Brendan, Yu, Hong, Jahoor, Farook, O'Brien, William, Beaudet, Arthur L., Reeds, Peter

Urea cycle disorders are a group of inborn errors of hepatic metabolism that result in often life-threatening hyperammonemia and hyperglutaminemia. Clinical and laboratory diagnosis of partial...
