Early nutrition and phenotypic development: 'catch-up' growth leads to elevated metabolic rate in adulthood.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Jul 2008

Criscuolo François, Monaghan Pat, Nasir Lubna, Metcalfe Neil B

Abstract excerpt

Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is responsible for up to 50% of total energy expenditure, and so should be under strong selection pressure, yet it shows extensive intraspecific variation and a low heritability. Environmental conditions during growth are thought to have long-term effects through 'metabolic programming'. Here we investigate whether nutritional conditions early in life can alter RMR in adulthood, and...
