Abstract
SCOPE One strategy to manage malnutrition in older patients is to increase protein and energy intake. Here, we evaluate the influence of protein quality during refeeding on improvement in muscle protein and energy metabolism. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-month-old male rats (n = 40) were fed 50% of their spontaneous intake for 12 weeks to induce malnutrition, then refed ad libitum with a standard diet enriched with casein or soluble milk proteins (22%) for 4 weeks. A 13C-valine was infused to measure muscle protein synthesis and expression of MuRF1, and MAFbx was measured to evaluate muscle proteolysis. mTOR pathway activation and mitochondrial function were assessed in muscle. Malnutrition was associated with a decrease in body weight, fat mass, and lean mass, particularly muscle mass. Malnutrition decreased muscle mTOR pathway activation and protein FSR associated with increased MuRF1 mRNA levels, and decreased mitochondrial function. The refeeding period partially restored fat mass and lean mass. Unlike the casein diet, the soluble milk protein diet improved muscle protein metabolism and mitochondrial function in old malnourished rats. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that providing better-quality proteins during refeeding may improve efficacy of renutrition in malnourished older patients.

Abstract
Isometric thermogenesis as applied to human energy expenditure refers to heat production resulting from increased muscle tension. While most physical activities consist of both dynamic and static (isometric) muscle actions, the isometric component is very often essential for the optimal performance of dynamic work given its role in coordinating posture during standing, walking and most physical activities of everyday life. Over the past 75 years, there has been sporadic interest into the relevance of isometric work to thermoregulatory thermogenesis and to adaptive thermogenesis pertaining to body-weight regulation. This has been in relation to (i) a role for skeletal muscle minor tremor or microvibration - nowadays referred to as 'resting muscle mechanical activity' - in maintaining body temperature in response to mild cooling; (ii) a role for slowed skeletal muscle isometric contraction-relaxation cycle as a mechanism for energy conservation in response to caloric restriction and weight loss and (iii) a role for spontaneous physical activity (which is contributed importantly by isometric work for posture maintenance and fidgeting behaviours) in adaptive thermogenesis pertaining to weight regulation. This paper reviews the evidence underlying these proposed roles for isometric work in adaptive thermogenesis and highlights the contention that variability in this neglected component of energy expenditure could contribute to human predisposition to obesity.

Abstract
AIMS Selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn) are trace elements required for optimal brain functions. Thus, the role of Se and Zn against protein malnutrition induced oxidative stress on mitochondrial antioxidants and electron transport chain (ETC) enzymes from rats' brain were investigated. MAIN METHODS Normal protein (NP) and low protein (LP) rats were fed with diets containing 16% and 5% casein respectively for a period of 10weeks. Then the rats were supplemented with Se and Zn at a concentration of 0.15mgL(-1) and 227mgL(-1) in drinking water for 3weeks after which the rats were sacrificed. KEY FINDINGS The results obtained from the study showed significant (p<0.05) increase in lipid peroxidation (LPO), ROS production, oxidized glutathione (GSSG) levels and mitochondrial swelling and significant (p<0.05) reductions in catalase (CAT) and Mn-superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) activities, glutathione (GSH) levels, GSH/GSSG ratio and MTT reduction as a result of LP ingestion. The activities of mitochondrial ETC enzymes were also significantly inhibited in both the cortex and cerebellum of LP-fed rats. Supplementation with either Se or Zn restored the alterations in all the parameters. SIGNIFICANCE The study showed that Se and Zn might be beneficial in protecting mitochondrial antioxidants and ETC enzymes against protein malnutrition induced oxidative stress.

Caloric restriction induces energy-sparing alterations in skeletal muscle contraction, fiber composition and local thyroid hormone metabolism that persist during catch-up fat upon refeeding.

Abstract
Weight regain after caloric restriction results in accelerated fat storage in adipose tissue. This catch-up fat phenomenon is postulated to result partly from suppressed skeletal muscle thermogenesis, but the underlying mechanisms are elusive. We investigated whether the reduced rate of skeletal muscle contraction-relaxation cycle that occurs after caloric restriction persists during weight recovery and could contribute to catch-up fat. Using a rat model of semistarvation-refeeding, in which fat recovery is driven by suppressed thermogenesis, we show that contraction and relaxation of leg muscles are slower after both semistarvation and refeeding. These effects are associated with (i) higher expression of muscle deiodinase type 3 (DIO3), which inactivates tri-iodothyronine (T3), and lower expression of T3-activating enzyme, deiodinase type 2 (DIO2), (ii) slower net formation of T3 from its T4 precursor in muscles, and (iii) accumulation of slow fibers at the expense of fast fibers. These semistarvation-induced changes persisted during recovery and correlated with impaired expression of transcription factors involved in slow-twitch muscle development. We conclude that diminished muscle thermogenesis following caloric restriction results from reduced muscle T3 levels, alteration in muscle-specific transcription factors, and fast-to-slow fiber shift causing slower contractility. These energy-sparing effects persist during weight recovery and contribute to catch-up fat.

Bedside calculation of energy expenditure does not guarantee adequate caloric prescription in long-term mechanically ventilated critically ill patients: a quality control study. ScientificWorldJournal 2012; 2012:909564.

Abstract
Nutrition is essential in critically ill patients, but translating caloric prescriptions into adequate caloric intake remains challenging. Caloric prescriptions (P), effective intake (I), and caloric needs (N), calculated with modified Harris-Benedict formulas, were recorded during seven consecutive days in ventilated patients. Adequacy of prescription was estimated by P/N ratio. I/P ratio assessed accuracy of translating a prescription into administered feeding. I/N ratio compared delivered calories with theoretical caloric needs. Fifty patients were prospectively studied in a mixed medicosurgical ICU in a teaching hospital. Basal and total energy expenditure were, respectively, 1361 ± 171 kcal/d and 1649 ± 233 kcal/d. P and I attained 1536 ± 602 kcal/d and 1424 ± 572 kcal/d, respectively. 24.6% prescriptions were accurate, and 24.3% calories were correctly administered. Excessive calories were prescribed in 35.4% of patients, 27.4% being overfed. Caloric needs were underestimated in 40% prescriptions, with 48.3% patients underfed. Calculating caloric requirements by a modified standard formula covered energy needs in only 25% of long-term mechanically ventilated patients, leaving many over- or underfed. Nutritional imbalance mainly resulted from incorrect prescription. Failure of “simple” calculations to direct caloric prescription in these patients suggests systematic use of more reliable methods, for example, indirect calorimetry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous investigations in rats have shown that the first enzyme of the mitochondrial electron transport chain (complex I) is altered in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and muscle by dietary manipulations. OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that similar changes would occur in human PBMCs as a result of dietary malnutrition and short-term refeeding irrespective of the presence or absence of active inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). DESIGN Fourteen malnourished patients with active IBD, 13 malnourished patients without IBD, and 42 healthy subjects were investigated. Complex I activity, body mass index, body composition, energy and protein intakes, and resting energy expenditure were measured. Five patients without IBD and 6 patients with IBD were investigated after 7 d of refeeding. RESULTS In patients without IBD, weight loss was mainly due to a loss of fat mass. In contrast, weight loss in IBD patients was due to a loss of both fat-free mass and fat mass. Complex I activity was reduced to the same degree in both groups of patients and was significantly lower than that observed in healthy subjects. In both groups of patients, complex I activity correlated significantly with body weight, body mass index, percentage weight loss, and fat mass. Complex I activity increased significantly after 1 wk of refeeding in both groups of patients before observed changes of measured nutritional assessment indexes. CONCLUSION Our study showed that mitochondrial complex I activity measured in PBMCs seems to be a specific marker of dietary malnutrition and responds rapidly to refeeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies showed that malnutrition reduces the activity of complexes I, II, and III in the mitochondria of skeletal muscle. OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that malnutrition would influence oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial complex activity in the skeletal muscle of rats. DESIGN Thirty-two rats were assigned either to a control group with an ad libitum intake of 364 kJ/d or to a hypoenergetic group with an intake of 92 kJ/d. Eleven of these rats received the hypoenergetic diet for 10 d, 2 for 5 d, 2 for 6 d, 2 for 7 d, and 1 each for 8 and 11 d to achieve a distributed weight loss. Ten controls were fed for 10 d, 2 for 7 d, and 1 for 5 d, to match day 10, day 5, and the midpoint (day 7) of 6-8 d of hypoenergetic feeding. The 2 diets provided the same volume, electrolytes, vitamins, and trace elements but different amounts of energy. RESULTS A significant relation was observed between weight loss and the state 4 and 3 oxidation rates with pyruvate + malate and for state 3 glutamate + malate and succinate + rotenone but not with tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine + ascorbate + antimycin A (TMPD). Similarly, a significant relation was observed between the degree of weight loss and complex I and III activities but not with complex II and IV activities. CONCLUSIONS The complex activities of the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation chain in muscle were depressed selectively with energy deprivation when compared with normally fed rats. These findings may partly explain the mechanism of reduced muscle energetics in energy malnutrition.

Abstract
It has become increasingly recognized that skeletal muscle dysfunction is common in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Muscle strength and endurance are decreased, whereas muscle fatigability is increased. There is a reduced proportion of type I fibers and an increase in type II fibers. Muscle atrophy occurs with a reduction in fiber cross-sectional area. Oxidative enzyme activity is decreased, and measurement of muscle bioenergetics during exercise reveals a reduced aerobic capacity. Deconditioning is probably very important mechanistically. Other mechanisms that may be of varying importance in individual patients include chronic hypercapnia and/or hypoxia, nutritional depletion, steroid usage, and oxidative stress. Potential therapies include exercise training, oxygen supplementation, nutritional repletion, and administration of anabolic hormones.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies suggested that cell energetics are altered by malnutrition. OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that nutritional manipulations influence mitochondrial enzyme activities of the electron transport chain in both skeletal muscle and blood mononuclear cells. DESIGN After a gastrostomy tube was inserted, 44 rats were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 experimental groups: control fed (CF; 364 kJ/d for 7 d), hypoenergetic fed (HF; 92 kJ/d for 7 d), hypoenergetic protein refed (HPR; 92 kJ/d for 7 d and then 129 kJ/d for 1 d), and hypoenergetic glucose refed (HGR; 92 kJ/d for 7 d and then 129 kJ/d for 1 d). The protein and glucose contents of the liquid formulas were different for the HPR and HGR groups. After mitochondria were isolated from the soleus muscle, the activities of complexes I--IV were measured spectrophotometrically. Because of the lack of available tissue, only the activity of complex I was measured in the mononuclear cell extract. RESULTS The recovery of complex activities in the CF and HF groups was not significantly different in the mitochondrial fraction of the soleus muscle. Compared with that in the CF group, the activities of complexes I--III in the mitochondrial fraction of the soleus muscle and the activity of complex I in mononuclear cells were significantly lower in the HF group. The activities of complexes I--III in the mitochondrial fraction of the soleus muscle and the activity of complex I in mononuclear cells were significantly higher in the HPR than in the HF group. The activity of complex IV was generally not affected by nutritional manipulations. CONCLUSION Malnutrition decreases activities of mitochondrial complexes, which are restored by protein but not glucose refeeding.

Abstract
Low exercise tolerance has a large influence on health status in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic heart failure. In addition to primary organ dysfunction, impaired skeletal muscle performance is a strong predictor of low exercise capacity. There are striking similarities between both disorders with respect to the muscular alterations underlying the impairment. However, different alterations occur in different muscle types. Histologic and metabolic data show that peripheral muscles undergo a shift from oxidative to glycolytic energy metabolism, whereas the opposite is observed in the diaphragm. These findings are in line with the notion that peripheral and diaphragm muscle are limited mainly by endurance and strength capacity, respectively. In both diseases, muscular impairment is multifactorially determined; hypoxia, oxidative stress, disuse, medication, nutritional depletion, and systemic inflammation may contribute to the observed muscle abnormalities and each factor has its own potential for innovative treatment approaches.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate those factors that impact on the delivery of enteral tube feeding. DESIGN Prospective study. SETTING Medical intensive care units (ICU) and coronary care units at two university-based hospitals. PATIENTS Forty-four medical ICU/coronary care unit patients (mean age, 57.8 yrs; 70% male) who were to receive nothing by mouth and were placed on enteral tube feeding. INTERVENTIONS Rate of enteral tube feeding ordered, actual volume delivered, patient position, residual volume, flush volume, presence of blue food coloring in oropharynx, and stool frequency were recorded every 4 hrs. Duration and reason for cessation of enteral tube feeding were documented. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Physicians ordered a daily mean volume of enteral tube feeding that was 65.6% of goal requirements, but an average of only 78.1% of the volume ordered was actually infused. Thus, patients received a mean volume of enteral tube feeding for all 339 days of infusion that was 51.6% of goal (range, 15.1% to 87.1%). Only 14% of patients reached > or = 90% of goal feeding (for a single day) within 72 hrs of the start of enteral tube feeding infusion. Of 24 patients weighed before and after, 54% were noted to lose weight on enteral tube feeding. Declining albumin levels through the enteral tube feeding period correlated significantly with decreasing percent of goal calories infused (p = .042; r2 = .13). Diarrhea occurred in 23 patients (52.3%) for a mean 38.2% of enteral tube feeding days. In >1490 bedside evaluations, patients were observed to be in the supine position only 0.45%, residual volume of >200 mL was found 2.8%, and blue food coloring was found in the oropharynx 5.1% of the time. Despite this, cessation of enteral tube feeding occurred in 83.7% of patients for a mean 19.6% of the potential infusion time. Sixty-six percent of the enteral tube feeding cessations was judged to be attributable to avoidable causes. CONCLUSIONS The current manner in which enteral tube feeding is delivered in the ICU results in grossly inadequate nutritional support. Barely one half of patient caloric requirements are met because of underordering by physicians and reduced delivery through frequent and often inappropriate cessation of feedings.

Abstract
We evaluated the hypothesis that long-term caloric restriction and exercise would have beneficial effects on muscle bioenergetics and performance in the rat. By themselves, each of these interventions is known to increase longevity, and bioenergetic improvements are thought to be important in this phenomenon. Accordingly, we investigated rats that underwent long-term caloric restriction and were sedentary, ad libitum-fed rats permitted to exercise by daily spontaneous wheel running (AE), and the combination of the dietary and exercise interventions (RE). Ad libitum-fed, sedentary rats comprised the control group. 31P NMR spectra of the gastrocnemius muscle (GM) were collected in vivo at rest and during two periods of electrical stimulation. Neither caloric restriction nor exercise affected the ratio of phosphocreatine to ATP or pH at rest. During the first stimulation and after recovery, the RE group had a significantly smaller decline in pH than did the other groups (P < 0.05). During the second period of stimulation, the decrease in pH was much smaller in all groups than during the first stimulation, with no differences observed among the groups. The combination of caloric restriction and exercise resulted in a significant attenuation in the decline in developed force during the second period of stimulation (P < 0.05). A biochemical correlate of this was a significantly higher concentration of citrate synthase in the GM samples from the RE rats (32.7 +/- 5.4 micromol. min-1. g-1) compared with the AE rats (17.6 +/- 5.7 micromol. min-1. g-1; P < 0.05). Our experiments thus demonstrated a synergistic effect of long-term caloric restriction and free exercise on muscle bioenergetics during electrical stimulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Specific morbidity related to underfeeding and overfeeding necessitates the design of nutrition support regimens that provide calories equal to those required on the basis of energy expenditure. This prospective multicenter trial was designed to determine what percent of patients in long-term acute care facilities receive feeding appropriate to their needs and whether accuracy of feeding has an impact on patient clinical status. METHODS Patients on mechanical ventilation who were hospitalized at 32 Vencor Hospitals over a 9-week period and who were receiving only enteral nutrition by continuous infusion at a presumed goal rate were evaluated once by indirect calorimetry (IC) while on feeding. Caloric intake over the preceding 24 hours was determined by physician orders and by patient intake/output (I/O) record. Caloric requirements were defined by measured resting energy expenditure (REE) + 10% for activity. Degree of metabolism was defined by the ratio: (measured REE/Harris-Benedict predicted REE) x 100, and the degree of feeding by the ratio: (calories provided/calories required) x 100. RESULTS IC was performed on 335 patients (mean, 11.2 patients per center; range, 1 to 32), of which 72 were excluded for nonphysiological results or failure to achieve steady state, 21 for receiving parenteral nutrition, and 29 for not being on mechanical ventilation at time of testing. The 213 study patients were 58.7% male with mean age 70.1 years (range, 20 to 90 years). Measured REE was <25 kcal/kg in 66.2% of patients and 25 to 35 kcal/kg in 28.6%. Barely half (48.4%) of this patient population was hypermetabolic. Based on physician orders, the majority of patients (58.2%) were overfed, receiving >110% of required calories, and 12.2% were underfed, receiving <90% of requirements. Discrepancies based on I/O records, however, suggested that 36.1% of patients received <90% of those calories ordered. By either basis, only about 25% of patients received feeding within 10% of required calories. The percent of patients being overfed varied between centers, ranging from 32.2% to 92.8%, and was not affected by years of facility IC experience or volume of IC studies per month. The pattern of caloric provision as measured by degree of feeding correlated inversely to degree of metabolism (p < .0001, R2 = .24). Accuracy of feeding had an impact on ventilatory status, as degree of feeding correlated inversely with minute ventilation (p = .001, R2 = .05). Degree of overfeeding also led to significant increases in azotemia (p = .033, R2 = .02). Extrapolating study data over 1 year, reduction in excess volume of enteral formula would have resulted in a cost savings of up to $1.3 million for the Vencor system. CONCLUSIONS Because energy expenditure is difficult to predict on the basis of conventional equations, patients in long-term acute care facilities routinely are overfed and underfed, with only 25% receiving calories within 10% of required needs. Measuring a patient's energy requirement at least once by IC is important, because the degree of metabolism predicts how easily a patient will be underfed or overfed. The amount of infused calories should be compared with caloric requirements measured by IC, because the accuracy or degree of underfeeding or overfeeding has an impact on ventilatory status and the likelihood for developing azotemia. Although physician practice or bias may reduce the optimal clinical effect, the use of IC to determine caloric requirements may result in significant cost savings.

Abstract
Muscle glycogen concentrations in underfed (HYPO) and refed rats (RE) in an earlier study did not correlate with fatigue. We hypothesized that underfeeding slowed glycolysis in the slow-twitch soleus, but not in the fast-twitch extensor digitorum longus (EDL). Thirty adult male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to receive one of two isovolemic and micronutrient-complete liquid diets, a control (CN) energy-complete diet for 10 d or a diet 80% lower in energy (HYPO) for 7 d producing a 20% loss of initial weight. Rats were refed an energy-complete diet for 1 or 4 d (RE1, RE4). Rats were then anesthetized, and the soleus and EDL muscles of the hindlimbs were isolated and electrically stimulated in situ. The pre- and postfatigued muscles were freeze-clamped, lyophilized and stored at -70 degreesC until assayed for specific glycolytic and Krebs cycle metabolites. The HYPO diet caused significantly slower glycolysis in the stimulated soleus but not the EDL compared with the CN diet as supported by the following: 1) a lower fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (F-1,6-P2)/fructose-6-phosphate (F-6-P) ratio; 2) a greater glucose-6-phosphate (G-6-P)/lactate ratio; 3) a lower lactate/glycogen ratio; and 4) lower lactate concentration. Four days of refeeding normalized the F-1,6-P2/F-6-P ratio, but did not improve the lactate/glycogen or the G-6-P/lactate ratios. We conclude that undernutrition compromises glycolysis only in slow-twitch muscles and that 4 d of refeeding restores phosphofructokinase activity.

Abstract
Nutritional status is a dynamic entity that changes because of interactions between nutrient intake and absorption and requirements and disease. Clinically relevant nutritional assessment should determine whether the patient's nutritional status will decline in the absence of nutritional support. In addition, such assessment should predict complications in the absence of nutritional intervention. The role of different techniques--clinical body compositional, and functional--is discussed in this context.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We have examined calcium cycling and associated ATP consumption by isolated heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum (HSR) vesicles incubated in conditions believed to exist in resting muscle. Our goals were to estimate the magnitude of calcium cycling under those conditions and identify the main mechanisms involved in its regulation. The integrity of the HSR vesicles was documented by the retention of [14C]-sucrose and electron microscopy. HSR actively exchanged Ca2+ with the medium through a partially open ryanodine-binding channel (RyR), as evidenced by the rapid attainment of a steady-state gradient between HSR and medium, which was promptly increased by the closure of the channel with ruthenium red (RR) or collapsed by its opening with caffeine. The ATP dependency was evidenced by the sustained ATP consumption after the steady state was attained and by the abrogation of the gradient following inhibition of the pump with thapsigargin (Tg) or the omission of ATP. When HSR vesicles were incubated in a comparatively large pool of calcium (approximately 1 micromol/mg HSR protein), ATP consumption was 1-1.5 micromol x [min x mg protein](-1) at 0.1 microM free Ca2+. Under such conditions, the main regulator of the sarcoplasmic Ca2+-dependent ATPase (SERCA) was extravesicular-free Ca2+ concentration, with a four- to fivefold increase between 0.1 and 2 microM Ca2+, whereas RyR channel activity and the replenishment of the HSR vesicles had only a modest effect on ATP consumption. When calcium pool size was reduced to 0.1 micromol/mg HSR protein, a steady state was established at a lower level of HSR calcium. In spite of a slightly lower free extravesicular Ca2+ at equilibrium (approximately 0.07 microM following an initial concentration of 0.1 microM), both ATP consumption and the open probability of the RyR channel were increased by a factor of three to five. Compared to the large calcium pool, the sensitivity of both RyR channel and SERCA to extravesicular free Ca2+ concentration as well as to caffeine and RR was markedly enhanced. CONCLUSIONS 1) In conditions present in resting muscle, HSR calcium is in dynamic equilibrium with the medium through a partially open RyR channel, which requires continuous ATP hydrolysis. 2) The availability of calcium is a major determinant of the sensitivity of both RyR channel and SERCA to free extravesicular Ca2+ and possibly other stimuli. 3) These observations are consistent with the concept that calcium cycling in resting muscle may account for a significant fraction of muscle energy demands and further suggest that restricting calcium availability may enhance the energetic demands of this process.

Abstract
Hypocaloric feeding (HCF) depresses heart function causing cardiac atrophy, bradycardia, and decreased cardiac output. We tested the hypothesis that HCF results in decreased myocardial Ca- and ATP cycling. We reduced protein-calorie intake of adult rats by 20% for 7 days and then allowed them to recover for 3 days. Changes in ionized Ca concentration (nM/s) of 2.5% myocardial homogenates that were attributable to the Ca-ATPase pump and Ca-release channel (CRC), respectively, of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) were depressed 41 and 85% by HCF from 61.6 +/- 9.4 and 24.7 +/- 3.3, to 36.1 +/- 2.8 and 3.6 +/- 2.9. Activity of the Ca-pump was restored after 3 days of refeeding, whereas the CRC remained 23% depressed (all p < 0.05). Additionally, the CRC activity was inhibited to a 3-fold greater extent than controls by HCF, but was disinhibited within one day of refeeding. The greater effect on CRC than Ca-pump activity resulted in net Ca-uptake being unaffected by HCF. In addition to depression of Ca-cycling, ATP sythetase and total ATPase activities (IU/g), respectively, were depressed 20 and 15% by HCF from 174 +/- 19 and 51.3 +/- 3.8 to 140 +/- 15 and 43.7 +/- 4.7, but were restored to control values within one day of refeeding. We conclude that HCF produces a compensatory, reversible, and asymmetric downregulation and inhibition of Ca-cycling, with the CRC being preferentially affected.

Abstract
Repeated and excessive consumption of alcohol leads to pathophysiological disorders in skeletal muscles. A successful management of this syndrome requires a strict abstinence and a nutritionally adequate diet. We propose here a simple and noninvasive investigation using 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to monitor the recovery of the basal energy status of eminence thenar muscles from documented chronic alcoholic patients during a controlled 15-day period of abstinence. Cessation of alcohol abuse induced a significant recovery of the PCr/(PCr+P(i)) ratio otherwise depressed before the abstinence. On the contrary, the relative level of free inorganic phosphate decreased, whereas intracellular pH was not affected. These results demonstrate (a) the rapid improvement of basal muscular energy metabolism during abstinence for patients with a chronic and heavy alcohol consumption, and (b) the feasibility of a follow-up of this recovery by serial examinations using 31P MRS.
