US Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Children s Nutrition Research Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA
Am J Clin Nutr 67:292-300. 1998..Lean body mass was preserved throughout lactation in well-nourished women, suggesting that the metabolic needs of milk protein production were met solely by higher protein intakes of the lactating women...

USDA ARS Children s Nutrition Research Center, Department of Pediatrics, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston 77030, USA
Curr Opin Pediatr 12:469-76. 2000..Modifications to infant formulas are made when the preponderance of scientific evidence suggests that the compositional change will better meet the nutritional needs of the infant...
Growth characteristics of children with ectodermal dysplasia syndromesKathleen J Motil
Children s Nutrition Research Center, Department of Pediatrics, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA
Pediatrics 116:e229-34. 2005..We hypothesized that (1) linear and ponderal growth abnormalities are present in children with ED from infancy through adolescence, and (2) linear and ponderal growth abnormalities differ among the clinical variants of these disorders...
Fractional calcium absorption is increased in girls with Rett syndromeKathleen J Motil
USDA ARS Children s Nutrition Research Center, Houston 77030, USA
J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr 42:419-26. 2006..We hypothesized that decreased intestinal calcium (Ca) absorption relative to dietary Ca intake and increased renal Ca excretion might cause these problems in RTT...

J Bone Miner Res 16:1658-64. 2001..5. These preliminary findings indicate that the prediction model should prove useful in determining potential bone mineral deficits in individual pediatric patients...
Growth, nutritional, and gastrointestinal aspects of ankyloblepharon-ectodermal defect-cleft lip and/or palate (AEC) syndromeKathleen J Motil
Department of Pediatrics, USDA ARS Children s Nutrition Research Center, Baylor College of Medicine, 1100 Bates Street, Houston, TX 77030, USA

Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA
J Child Neurol 24:551-6. 2009..This study should inform future treatment trials regarding balancing participants with specific mutations and comparable severity to minimize selection bias...
