  • Title: Effects of a low protein diet during pregnancy of the rhesus monkey. III. Growth of infants.
    Author: Kohrs MB, Kerr GR, Harper AE.
    Journal: Am J Clin Nutr; 1980 Mar; 33(3):625-30. PubMed ID: 6766661.
    Abstract:
    The growth of eight infants born to pregnant rhesus monkeys fed a control diet of modified cows' milk was compared to the growth of five infants born to mothers fed a diet containing only 25% as much protein but made isocaloric with supplemental lactose. The average body weight of infants whose mothers were fed the low protein diet was significantly less at birth and on day 180 after birth than for the infants whose mothers were fed the control diet. The mean head circumference was significantly less for the prenatally malnourished infants than for the control infants at birth; at day 180 after birth there was no significant difference. Although the average body length of infants from mothers fed the low protein diet was consistently less than that of infants from mothers fed the control diet, the differences were not significant.
