Nutrients and Hormones: Effects in Boys With Disordered Growth

With the assistance of a research dietician, we will prescribe and monitor the use of a liquid food supplement (Pediasure). Adjustments to the supplementation will be made based on weight measurements in the clinic with subjects wearing paper gowns at 2 and 4w, and monthly thereafter, and repeat dietary intake and TEE assessment at 6 and 12mo.

Growth Hormone will be 0.3mg/kg/week, given SC once daily.
