Abstract

The dynamic changes of biological features in catch-up growth rats were observed. The results demonstrated that the animal model of catch-up growth achieved by way of refeeding after calorie restriction manifested rapid growth after temporary growth retardation, transiently inercasod food efficiency,and a faster growth rate of visceral adipose tissue versus body weight after nutritional rehabilitation. These findings are consistent with the characteristics of human catch-up growth. Key words: Catch-up growth; Caloric restriction; Nutritional rehabilitation; Body fat; Food efficiency
