Although extensive data are available on the impact of nutrient and protein administration on growth, plasma amino acids, and nitrogen balance in the newborn and growing infants, relatively few studies have carefully examined the dynamic aspects of protein metabolism in vivo and particularly in the micropremie or ELBW infant. These studies show that the very preterm infants, either because of immaturity or because of the intercurrent illness, have high rates of protein turnover and protein breakdown. This high rate of proteolysis is not as responsive to nutrient administration. Intervention strategies aimed at promoting nitrogen accretion, such as insulin, human growth hormone, or glutamine, have not thus far resulted in enhanced protein accretion and growth. This may be, in part, due to limitations in delivery of adequate calorie and nitrogen.
Exercise intolerance is a common presenting symptom. The physiology of exercise intolerance in illustrative neurologic diseases is reviewed. Roles for exercise testing are identified, particularly in the evaluation of metabolic myopathies. The potential benefits of low intensity aerobic exercise training are described.
