Nutrition Therapy/Neurological Disorders

Uploaded by : Essays-Now.com

A 4 page research paper that discusses nutrition and muscular degenerative disorders. The writer argues that the neurological disorders that the student is investigating, i.e., Guillian-Barre (GB), myasthenia gravis (MG), Parkinson's disease (PD), spinal cord injury (SCI) and multiple sclerosis (MS), have the common factor, from a nutritional point of view, of entailing the danger of developing myopathies. In each of these cases, and for a variety of physiological reasons, muscle protein depletion occurs at a faster pace and is far more extensive than would normally occur from inactivity (Burnham, Moss and Ziegler, 2005). Nutritional implications are discussed. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
