Protein-energy malnutrition among preschool children in Oman: results of a national survey
(2007)We assessed the prevalence of underweight, wasting and stunting among preschool children in Oman from March to December 1999.

Impact of nutritional rehabilitation on enzymatic antioxidant levels in protein energy malnutrition
(2002)To assess the role of enzymatic antioxidants in the pathogenesis of protein energy malnutrition [PEM] and the effect of nutritional rehabilitation, we studied 30 infants with PEM [mean age 10.63 +/- 4.39 months: 10 marasmic; 8 with kwashiorkor; 12 with marasmic kwashiorkor] and 15 controls. All underwent clinical examination and laboratory investigations, including superoxide dismutase [SOD] and glutathione peroxidase [GPx] estimation before and after nutrition rehabilitation. SOD and GPx were significantly lower in all malnourished infants ...
