Malignant disease is frequently accompanied by weight loss and malnutrition, which are associated with an increase in patient mortality and morbidity.

Regulation of stomach emptying in pigs. (1987)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
GREGORY, P.C., MCFADYEN, M. and RAYNER, D.V. 1987. Regulation of stomach emptying in pigs. Presented at the 1987 Cambridge meeting of the Physiological Society, 18-19 September 1987, Cambridge, UK.

This presentation reports on three experiments into the stomach emptying of pigs during feeding. Each experiment measured the emptying of both solids and liquids from the stomach using a gastric evacuation technique. Two of the experiments also invol...

The metabolic response to trauma is associated with mobilization of energy substrates including fat or fat-derived substrates.

A study of the time course of fructose-2, 6-bisphosphate production in a septic mouse model. (1986)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
HEPBURN, D., BROOM, J. and SMITH, D.J. 1986. A study of the time course of fructose-2, 6-bisphosphate production in a septic mouse model. Proceedings of the Nutrition Society [online], 45(1), page 33A. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1079/PNS19860044

Where sepsis occurs in the post-surgical period, mortality rates tend to be high. In sepsis, metabolism is grossly disrupted with glucose becoming the preferred fuel for energy provision even where ketogenesis has been promoted.

Biochemical adaptations in early starvation: observations on sex difference. (1978)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
BROOM, J., FLECK, A., DAVIDSON, D.F., ROSENBURG, C. and DURNIN, J.V.G.A. 1978. Biochemical adaptations in early starvation: observations on sex difference. Proceedings of the Nutrition Society [online], 37(3), page 92A. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1079/PNS19780048

Twenty-two students, eleven male and eleven female, volunteered to fast for 3 d. Twenty-four hour urine collections were obtained over the period of study, and total nitrogen, urea, and 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-OH-butyrate) were determined in each.

Protein synthesis in the rat liver after fracture of the femur. (1974)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Moderate to severe trauma is accompanied by two characteristic responses in plasma protein concentration, namely an increase in levels of acute phase reactants and a fall in albumin (Cuthbertson & Tompsett, 1935; Oweb, 1967).
