Nutrition and Cellular Growth

  • Chapter
Nutrition

Part of the book series: Human Nutrition ((HUNU,volume 1))

Abstract

Traditionally, growth of the whole body or of individual organs has been measured by weight gain alone (Donaldson, 1924; Dunn et al., 1947). This measurement, however, does not take into account the contribution made by various cellular and noncellular components. More recently, the finding that deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is located almost entirely within the nucleus and that the amount of DNA is constant within the diploid nucleus of any species (Boivin et al., 1948; Mirsky and Ris, 1949; Thomson et al., 1953) has enabled Enesco and LeBlond (1962) to reexamine postnatal growth.
