uq.edu.au Objective To determine the prevalence of hypermetabolism, relative to body composition, in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and its relationship with clinical features of disease and ...

Hypermetabolism (increased resting energy expenditure (REE)) and loss of body weight occur in MND. We aimed to determine whether hypermetabolism correlates with disease severity and weight loss.

Scientists have cracked the structure of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier, a fuel gate inside our cells, after 50 years of speculation. The discovery could revolutionize treatment strategies for ...

Objective: Visual snow (VS) is a distressing, life-impacting condition with persistent visual phenomena. VS patients show cerebral hypermetabolism within the visual cortex, resulting in altered ...

Alternatively, the co-occurrence of atrophy and hypermetabolism may suggest an upregulation of neuronal activity. In patients with Alzheimer's disease, a mismatch develops between atrophy and blood ...

Doctors conducted further cerebrospinal fluid nucleic acid amplification tests, which returned negative results. However, an F-18 FDG-PET/CT scan revealed extensive hypermetabolism in the cerebellar ...

J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2008;23(4):527-533. Furthermore, conditions such as bacterial overgrowth, coexistent small intestinal disease (inflammatory bowel disease, celiac sprue), pancreatic ...
