activity of organs such as the pancreas, liver, and white and brown adipose tissues. From …

In developing countries nutritional deficit during prenatal and continuing in post‐natal life is
very common. This condition leads to stunting and important metabolic changes. Over 30 …

Aims Low birthweight in humans has been shown to lead to increased resting pulse rate in
adult life, suggesting possible increased sympathoadrenal activity. The hypothesis that early …

Protein restriction during lactation has been suggested to diminish parasympathetic activity,
whereas sympathetic activity is enhanced in adult rats. The present study analyses whether …

We examined the long-term effects of protein restriction during puberty on the function of
