.... In experiments that trigger compensatory growth by manipulations of food availability, it can be impossible to assign long-term costs to the accelerated growth rather than the earlier food restriction. This short-coming was avoided in a long-term study of three-spined sticklebacks in which the initial period...

... conditions in refed pejerrey, and these nuclei probably contribute to the accelerated muscle hypertrophy that takes place during compensatory growth. The contribution of new nuclei to fiber hypertrophy was proposed for muscle growth during early stages of muscle differentiation and during early postnatal...

..., maximum sprinting speed was negatively correlated with growth rate after the resumption of feeding. This suggests that the rapid compensatory growth that occurs during re-feeding after a prolonged fast carries a physiological cost in terms of reduced sprinting capacity, the extent of which shows...

After correction for initial size at age as fork length, there was a direct correlation between negative SGR (rate of mass loss) during feed deprivation and positive SGR (rate of compensatory growth) during re-feeding (Spearman rank correlation R =0.388, P =0.000002...
