Abstract
In the recovering malnourished infant it has been shown that inadequate caloric intakes, although adversely affecting weight gain, favor the synthesis of serum albumin. Conversely, generous caloric intakes, which result in rapid weight gain and favor the retention of nitrogen, can adversely affect serum albumin, even when the source of protein is cow's milk and the level of protein in the diet is apparently quite adequate.
