The effect of protein-energy malnutrition on appositional bone growth in the rat
Experientia
|June 15, 1979
Abstract:
During protein-energy malnutrition appositional bone growth in the seventh caudal vertebra of the rat slows and finally ceases. During rehabilitation appositional growth begins agains and attains a rate in excess of that of the controls. This may account for alterations in skeletal proportions resulting from malnutrition.
