... inflammation and glucose intolerance. Obese foz/foz mice had similar physical activity level but reduced energy expenditure. Thermogenic adaptation to high-fat diet (HFD) or to cold exposure was severely impaired in foz/foz mice compared with HFD-fed WT littermates due to lower sympathetic tone in their brown...

... mice from obesity and diabetes by increasing energy expenditure. Inflammation accompanies increased energy expenditure. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine whether POMC-Ptp1b deletion increases energy expenditure via an inflammatory process, which would impair endothelial function. We...

... was measured using the [ 13 C]leucine technique, both in the fasted state and while consuming a high-energy meal. Resting energy expenditure was measured by indirect calorimetry, and total energy expenditure by the bicarbonate/urea method. Results were normalized for fat-free mass, as estimated from skinfold...

At baseline, resting energy expenditure whether expressed per kg body weight, lean body mass or body cell mass was significantly greater in the cancer patients compared with controls...

... are limited. We aimed to determine the acute effect of ephedrine on 24-h energy expenditure, mechanical work and urinary catecholamines in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, two-period crossover study. Ten healthy volunteers were given ephedrine (50 mg) or placebo thrice daily during each of two...

...Kevin M. Walsh; Calam Adams; Annemarie Sinclair; Eddie Leen; Michael E. J. Lean 1. In order to evaluate factors influencing thermogenesis in obesity, energy expenditure was measured before and during an adrenaline infusion (25 ng min −1 kg −1 ideal body weight for 30 min) in 22 obese females. 2...

...Lene Simonsen; Camilla Ryge; Jens Bülow 1. Fourteen healthy subjects were investigated before and for 4 hours after oral intake of 75 g of glucose ( n = 8) or tap water ( n = 6). Whole-body energy expenditure was measured by an open-circuit ventilated hood system. Blood samples for determination...

... (not significant), noradrenaline ( P <0.05) and cortisol ( P <0.01) were almost two- and three-fold higher in the patients than in the control subjects. 4. Mean energy expenditure, measured by indirect calorimetry, was 30% higher in the patients than in the healthy control subjects ( P <0.01). 5...

... deficiency and acromegaly are due to changes in lean body mass. Both adults with growth hormone deficiency and patients with acromegaly have increased energy expenditure, probably owing to changes in fuel metabolism which are not reflected in the leucocyte sodium pump activity. 21 4 1992 1 5 1992...

Resting energy expenditure and the metabolic responses to adrenaline (infusion rate: 0.03 μg min −1 kg −1 fat-free mass for 1 h) were investigated in 25...

...H. S. Markus; M. Cox; A. M. Tomkins 1. Resting energy expenditure was measured, by indirect calorimetry, in 12 patients with Parkinson's disease and in eight healthy age-matched control subjects. In the patients with Parkinson's disease measurements were made in both the untreated state and after...

The energy expenditure increased and was 33% higher than control ( P <0.001) at 10 μg of dobutamine min −1 kg −1 . The respiratory exchange ratio decreased from 0.85 ( sem 0.02) before infusion to 0.80 ( sem 0.01) at 10...

.... Counter-regulatory hormones were raised, whole-body protein oxidation was doubled ( P < 0.01) and energy expenditure was up by 18% ( P < 0.01). 3. Insulin sensitivity was quantified by clamping plasma glucose concentrations at 5.6 mmol/l during 24 h of total parenteral nutrition (15% protein, 55...

In the management of the non-insulin dependent diabetic patient, metformin often facilitates weight loss whereas sulphonylurea may predispose to weight gain. To investigate whether this is due to alterations in energy expenditure we have studied energy...
