ABSTRACT
Five children with protein-energy malnutrition were treated with a high calorie, high protein diet and the energy cost of growth in body weight and muscle mass were calculated. Energy expenditures correlated statistically with increases in muscle mass, estimated by [15N] creatine kinetics, but not with gains in body weight.(AU)
