Energy costs of fat and protein deposition in the human infant
SB Roberts, VR Young - The American journal of clinical nutrition, 1988 - Elsevier
The energy costs of depositing fat and protein in the low-birth-weight infant were determined
by multiple-regression analysis from published information on metabolizable-energy intake
and fat and protein deposition in groups of subjects fed different dietary regimes. The total
energy requirement for deposition was 1.17 kJ/kJ deposited for fat (ie, 1 kJ deposited and
0.17 kJ expended for deposition, and 2.38 kJ/kJ for protein. These values are similar to
published determinations for animal species with simple stomachs. The metabolizable …
