The response of the sexes to nutritional stress
Open accessAbstract
Nutritional stress will arise when the intake of one or more nutrients is insufficient to meet the requirements.It may also occur when the intake is excessive, but for this to be so the amount absorbed from the intestine must also be more than the body needs, and the individual must be unable to excrete the excess in the urine or to metabolize it.My main concern today is with differences in the response of the sexes to deficiencies and excesses of total energy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
