Leucine oxidation (A), nonoxidative disposal (B), and balance (C) in children with SAM at the EOM (∼13 d postadmission), mid-CUG (∼23 d postadmission when the children had replenished 50% of their weight deficit and had been administered either AAA or Ala supplementation for ∼10 d), and recovery (∼48 d postadmission when the children were fully recovered and had been administered either AAA or Ala supplementation for ∼35 d) phases. Values are means ± SEMs (n = 11) determined by using repeated-measures ANOVA. AAA, aromatic amino acid; EOM, end of maintenance (∼13 d postadmission); mid-CUG, mid–catch-up growth (∼23 d postadmission when the children had replaced 50% of their weight deficit); REC, recovery (∼48 d postadmission when the children had recovered); SAM, severe acute childhood malnutrition.
