Types of protein-energy malnutrition are marasmus (deficiency in total intake or nutrient utilization), kwashiorkor (relative protein deficiency), and mixed marasmus-kwashiorkor. 

Rel proteins contain a 280-amino acid homology region, which mediates both DNA binding and dimerization. DNA contact regions are located in the amino-terminal half and the residues responsible for the dimerization reside in the carboxy terminal half. 

The same shipment of raw, cooked and roasted glandless whole kernel cottonseed flours used in the FDA study was used to determine the protein efficiency ratio (PER) of each flour (8). The adjusted PER (Table II) of cooked (2.10) cottonseed was significantly higher than roasted (1.77) cottonseed. Protein retention efficiency (PRE) for roasted cottonseed (58.08) was lower than values for raw (60.54) and cooked (62.95) cottonseed. Relative protein values (RPV) indicated a utilization of 91, 91 and 96% of the protein in raw, roasted and cooked cottonseed, respectively. The multiplication of the (RPV) percentage utilization and the protein content of the cottonseed (Table I) results in the relative utilizable protein values (Table II).
