Sex differences in the relationships among weight gain, subcutaneous skinfold tissue and saltatory length growth spurts in infancyMichelle Lampl
Department of Anthropology, Emory University, Atlanta, GA 30322, USA
Pediatr Res 58:1238-42. 2005..These data generate the hypothesis that a common growth signal cascade couples growth in weight and length/height with a time delay due to sex-specific biology, reflected in a s.c. fat fold interface...
Mixed distribution analysis identifies saltation and stasis growthM Lampl
Department of Anthropology, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia 30322, USA
Ann Hum Biol 28:403-11. 2001..The present analysis reiterates that individual growth patterns are statistically unique and cannot be reconstructed or identified from group data...
Infants thinner at birth exhibit smaller kidneys for their size in late gestation in a sample of fetuses with appropriate growthMichelle Lampl
Department of Anthropology, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia 30322, USA
Am J Hum Biol 14:398-406. 2002..The observation that fetuses relatively thin at birth have relatively smaller kidneys for their size in late gestation suggests that the influence of maternal weight on birth outcome may act through organ growth...

Department of Anthropology, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia 30322, USA
Am J Hum Biol 15:533-46. 2003..It is possible that dolichocephaly is a previously unappreciated marker of fetal hypoxia. Reduced tibial growth may be a good marker for shortfall and a useful proxy for the adequacy of circulating resources more generally...

Department of Anthropology, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia 30322, USA
Am J Hum Biol 15:667-80. 2003..These results support the importance of sex-specific analyses, reemphasize the common notion that girls grow faster than boys, and direct attention to cross-talk between energy resources and growth...
Exposure to maternal diabetes is associated with altered fetal growth patterns: A hypothesis regarding metabolic allocation to growth under hyperglycemic-hypoxemic conditionsMichelle Lampl
