Protein Advisory Group

The Protein Advisory Group, ad hoc, is the working group of the WHO United Nations system involving WHO, EAO, and the United Nations International Childten s Emergency Eund (UNICEE). It has developed guidelines for the evaluation of novel sources of protein, eg, single-cell protein ...

Little information is available concerning alterations in vitamin requirements in ARF. Reduced plasma concentrations of vitamin A, ascorbate, vitamin D, and vitamin E have been reported in patients with ARF, whereas vitamin K concentrations are relatively increased. Losses of vitamins via dialysis also must be considered. Traditional HD clears several water-soluble vitamins such as folic acid, vitamins C and B12, and pyridoxine, but not the highly protein-bound vitamins A and D. The clinical significance of these findings in ARF is unknown. Currently, it seems prudent to administer vitamins at least daily in doses recommended by the Nutrition Advisory Group of the American Medical Association for patients receiving PN (see Chap. 137)." Administration of ascorbic acid should be restricted to under 200 mg/day to avoid secondary oxalosis which may worsen renal function." If the enteral route is used for nutritional support, vitamin administration should at least meet the recommended daily allowances (RDAs).

Jean-Marc Sabatier has a Ph.D. and HDR in biochemistry. He is the director of research at the French Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). He heads a research laboratory (ERT 62) entided Engineering of Therapeutic Peptides at the Universite de la Mediterranee, in Marseilles, France. He also holds the position of a senior director (discovery research — peptides) for a public company in Canada. Dr. Sabatier works in the field of animal toxins, and leads the venom peptide group of the International Neuropeptide Society. He also designs immunomodulatory and antiviral drugs, as well as contributes to the field of peptide and protein engineering. He has contributed more than 100 scientific articles, 180 communications, and 43 patents. He is a member of several scientific advisory boards of journals (e.g.. Peptides, Biochemical Journal), and has reviewed articles submitted for publication in more than 30 specialized international journals. 

Advisory Committee to Revise the Canadian Dietary Standard (1983), with the same assumptions about requirement variance. As in the Canadian report, the CV for the requirement was taken as 15 percent. One further assumption is necessary the correlation between nutrient and energy requirements across individuals within a class. Beaton and Swiss (1974) examined this assumption for protein and concluded that in all age groups, except early infancy and perhaps pregnancy and lactation, the correlation was likely to be very low (a maximum of 0.2). Table VI assumes a correlation of zero.
