胸腺素是一种主要的胸腺激素,为了评估胸腺素对营养缺乏的敏感性,作者测定了短期极低热量饮食(VLCD)时,肥胖妇女胸腺素水平。13例肥胖女性,年龄32.8±1.3岁。她们最初体重指数是34.6±1.9kg/m~2。全部病例肥胖多年,但从未进行 VLCD,其空腹血糖、甲状腺及肝肾功能均正常。入院后,患者最初维持体重饮食3天,在第一、二和第三周蛋白质摄入(g/d)分 Thymosin is a major thymus hormone. To assess the sensitivity of thymosin to nutritional deficiencies, the authors measured thymosin levels in obese women in the context of a short-term very low-calorie diet (VLCD). Thirteen obese women, aged 32.8 ± 1.3 years. Their initial body mass index was 34.6 ± 1.9 kg / m 2. All cases of obesity for many years, but never conducted VLCD, the fasting blood glucose, thyroid and liver and kidney function are normal. After admission, the patient initially maintained body weight for 3 days and had protein intake (g / d) in weeks 1, 2, and 3
