Protein malnutrition and replenishment with protein in man and animals

Protein content of gastric juice: Part II In normal subjects and patients suffering from peptic ulcer and gastric carcinoma

“…Total protein turnover per day has been calculated to be in the order of 5 to 10 g. protein per kg. per day (Waterlow, 1962). It is seen that the results of this study are consistent with other studies using different techniques and emphasize the important role of the stomach in protein metabolism.…”

Muscle Characteristics and Meat Quality of Lambs, Grown on Different Nutritional Planes. II. Chemical and Biochemical Effects on Muscle

“…This suggests that Waterlow's concept 38 ) of a sharp dividing line between 'fixed' and 'labile' muscle proteins needs some reappraisal.…”

Nutrition and the Heart

“…There is a pattern of response; organs with a high protein turn-over or high cell turn-over are the earliest targets for mobilization of protein while those such as skeletal muscle* and the heart are affected in the later stages [Waterlow, 1962;Ramalingaswami, 1964]. There is extensive loss of protein from skeletal muscle in the later stages of protein depletion.…”
