Is increased protein turnover and proteolysis an early and primary feature of short-term experimental hyperthyroidism in healthy women?
Mild short-term experimental hyperthyroidism increases whole-body protein turnover and breakdown before any measurable changes in energy expenditure or glucose and fat metabolism, suggesting that amino acid and protein metabolism is an early and primary target for thyroid hormone action in humans.
In utero malnutrition decreases the abdominal wound strength of newborn rats but not the collagen deposition, suggesting that breast-feeding nutrition is effective in recovering the collagen deposition but not overall wound strength.
