The energy cost of repleting tissue deficits during recovery from protein-energy malnutrition. 1977

A A Jackson, and D Picou, and P J Reeds

Five children with protein-energy malnutrition were 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.
