Daily energy expenditure by man

Expenditure and storage of energy in man.

Determination of the total daily energy expenditure in man by indirect calorimetry: assessment of the accuracy of a modern technique.

Selenium and dental depigmentation 41 incidence of liver necrosis, it had no apparent effect on the depigmentation of the rats’ incisors which takes place if these animals are fed on a diet deficient in tocopherol, and which is prevented only by this vitamin. 4. The parallelism between the effect of selenium and of vitamin E, both of which prevent liver necrosis and prolong the survival time of...

Postprandial energy expenditure in whole-food and processed-food meals: implications for daily energy expenditure

BACKGROUND Empirical evidence has shown that rising obesity rates closely parallel the increased consumption of processed foods (PF) consumption in USA. Differences in postprandial thermogenic responses to a whole-food (WF) meal vs. a PF meal may be a key factor in explaining obesity trends, but currently there is limited research exploring this potential link. OBJECTIVE The goal was to deter...

Total daily energy expenditure relative to resting energy expenditure in clinically stable patients with COPD.

BACKGROUND An elevated resting energy expenditure (REE) commonly occurs in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary (COPD). The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of an increased REE on total daily energy expenditure (TDE) in 20 patients with COPD (19 men) with mean (SD) forced expiratory volume in one second of 37 (14)% predicted. METHODS TDE was measured over a two week ...

Daily energy expenditure in free-living heart failure patients.

We examined the hypothesis that weight loss in heart failure patients is associated with elevated daily energy expenditure. Twelve cachectic patients [age = 73 +/- 6 yr; weight loss = 15 +/- 6 kg; body mass index (BMI) = 21 +/- 5 kg/m2], 13 noncachectic patients (age = 67 +/- 5 yr; BMI = 27 +/- 5 kg/m2), and 50 healthy elderly controls (age = 69 +/- 6 yr; BMI = 26 +/- 4 kg/m2) were studied.
