点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The main goal of this research program is to determine whether early neglect and deprivatoin can influence the development and interactions between the stress-sensitive system, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis and the growth hormone (GH) system in children that affect physical growth in post-institutionalized children.
