TI Bovine spongiform encephalopathy: are the cows mad or full of carbohydrates?
QU Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine 2002 Feb; 40(2): 101-3
PT journal article
AB The non-forage feeding of dairy cows rich in fast absorption carbohydrates, the low value of their euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp suggest a dysregulation of carbohydrate metabolism able to produce neurodegenerative disorders. Comparisons between Alzheimer's disease developed in diabetes mellitus and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) direct the discussion of the origin of BSE not only towards a contamination by prion proteins.
