| Description | Citation typed |
| Citation | Gopalan has made over a long period useful and important contributions to our knowledge of protein requirements of Man; the mechanism of famine oedema; the basic deficiency of kwashiorkor and marasmus; lactation in undernourished women; and food toxins. He showed that aflatoxin produces hepatic carcinoma in primates. His suggestion that amino-acid imbalance may be one cause of pellagra has been supported by recent work. Gopalan has played an outstanding part in building up the Indian National Institute of Nutrition since it moved to Hyderabad; in training nutritional scientists; and in applying advances in nutrition to India and other developing countries. He has rendered important services to nutrition and preventive medicine on the international level. |
