IgG4-mediated autoimmune diseases: a niche of antibody-mediated disorders.

abstract：:In the early 1970s carbohydrates (CHOs) were believed to induce overconsumption and excess fat deposition. They are now perceived to protect against these consequences. This paper evaluates the evidence for this change of interpretation by considering (1) the energy content of CHOs, (2) the energetic efficiency with w...
