Old and new substrates in clinical nutrition

Article Abstract:

Applications of old and new substrates in clinical nutrition are discussed. These include lipid nutrition substrates which are proven to affect the phospholipid composition of cell membranes to influence functions such as enzyme activities and transport-reception functions. Another is the new protein substrate, taurine which can stabilize membrane potential and promote calcium transport and calcium binding to membranes.
