Research Abstract
Dr. Mosier's growth research has centered around the effects of abnormal brain development and of experimental brain injury on physical growth and proportionate growth. These studies have included detailed analysis of growth hormone function and energy efficiency during experimental growth disturbances and recovery. The most recent studies have been designed to elucidate the set point in the central nervous system for body size.
