In the study energy expenditure measurements have been made by open circuit calorimetry on a number of occasions on four infants, with special reference to the energy cost of resting metabolism, activity and diet-induced thermogenesis. In addition, for two subjects the energy cost of growth was determined. The energy expended with respect to activity was highly variable among all subjects and it was postulated that this was a factor of great importance in the energy balance of young infants; indeed, the effect of diet-induced thermogenesis was enhanced by activity. A calculation of the total energy required to gain 1 g of wet tissue in two infants was found to be different. As their intakes were 'low' and 'high' though their weight gains were accelerated and slow respectively, the difference in the energy cost of growth has been discussed as a reason for this paradox.
在这项研究中，通过开路量热法对四名婴儿进行了多次能量消耗测量，特别关注静息代谢、活动和饮食诱导产热的能量消耗。此外，还测定了两名受试者的生长能量消耗。所有受试者的活动能量消耗差异很大，据推测这是影响幼儿能量平衡的一个非常重要的因素；事实上，活动会增强饮食诱导产热的效果。结果发现，两名婴儿每增加1克湿组织所需的总能量计算值不同。由于他们的摄入量分别为“低”和“高”，而体重增加却分别加速和缓慢，因此讨论了生长能量消耗的差异作为这一矛盾现象的一个原因。
