Popis:	To examine the rates of whole body protein synthesis and energy expenditure during the rapid growing period, premature infants of very low birth weight (VLBW) (< 1500 g), appropriate for gestational age were kept under standard thermoneutrality conditions and received a formula diet providing 110 kcal/kg.d metabolisable energy (ME) and 3.3 g protein/kg.d. Their energy expenditure was measured by open circuit indirect calorimetry. Nitrogen turnover and whole body protein synthesis and catabolism were determined using repeated oral administration of 15N-glycine for 60–72 h followed by the analysis of 15N-enrichment in urinary urea.
