Children's growth is a hallmark of their normal development and the association between nutrition and linear growth in children is well accepted. Growth requires an adequate supply of many different nutritional factors, some form the "building materials," whereas others play regulatory roles. In this article we describe the growth of the growth plate and discuss the role of nutritional affected hormones on this process. In addition we describe the effect of local regulators and nutritional factors on the growth process and suggest the involvement of new regulatory factors in the translation of nutrition to growth.
儿童的生长是其正常发育的标志，营养与儿童线性生长之间的关系已得到广泛认可。生长需要多种不同营养因素的充足供应，其中一些是“建筑材料”，而另一些则发挥着调节作用。本文描述了生长板的生长，并讨论了受营养影响的激素在这一过程中的作用。此外，本文还描述了局部调节剂和营养因素对生长过程的影响，并提出了新的调节因子在营养转化为生长过程中的参与。
