Resumen

Efectos de la malnutrición y la administración de cortisol sobre el crecimiento y desarrollo físico.- Se observó semanalmente el peso y la longitud así como la edad de aparición de algunas características físicas en 4 grupos de ratas: crías cuyas madres se alimentaron con dieta al 20% (N) o al 10% (M) de proteína durante los períodos de gestación y lactancia, y que fueron inyectadas diariamente durante la gestación con una solución al 0.9% de C1Na (S) o con una dosis de 0,5 mg./100 g. de peso corporal de una solución de acetato de hidrocortisona (C). Los tratamientos experimentales afectan principalmente a las características físicas que muestran una mayor demora en los grupos NC y MS que en el grupo MC.
