In neonates who are receiving either oral or IV DART (Dexamethasone) therapy for BPD, what is the physiologic reason as to why they have poor growth compared to those infants who are not on DART therapy?

Same reasons that any child has poor growth when receiving steroids. Look it up. Sounds like homework help to me so closing.
