Malnutrition, zinc supplementation and catch‐up growth: changes in insulin‐like growth factor I, its binding proteins, bone formation and collagen turnover

Abstract: We found no difference among zinc regimens in growth, IGF-I and its binding proteins or markers of bone and collagen turnover. Severe malnutrition was associated with low rates of bone and collagen synthesis and high rates of collagen degradation, and nutritional rehabilitation was associated with full or partial 'normalization' of the markers studied. Early weight gain and subsequent linear growth were associated with early increments in IGF-I, IGFBP3 and markers of bone and collagen formation. The study of t… Show more

“…In three studies, 70,72,77 children ranged in age from a minimum of 1 year to a maximum of either 3 years, 70 5 years 72 or 7 years 77 (this study could be included because the mean age of participants was < 5 years of age). Six studies allowed for the inclusion of children under 1 year in age, with ages ranging from 6 months to about 2.5 years in one study, 71 6 months to 3 years in two studies, 68,69,79 and in three studies from either 6 months to 5 years, 74,75 5 months to 5 years 73 or 8 months to 2 years. 78 Only one study focused on children aged < 1 year.…”
