Prediction of Non-Resting Energy Expenditure using Accelerometry
The accurate measurement of total energy expenditure is a cornerstone of metabolic research. However, there is a lack of measurement methods that are valid, objective, inexpensive, and easy to use. Accelerometry, along with validated prediction equations for resting energy requirements, may provide …

Blood Lactate Predicts Resting Energy Expenditure in Non-Obese Caucasian Females
… being limited, we believed it would reduce the resting energy expenditure (REE), and potentially propel an individual toward obesity and related metabolic disease(s). Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate if plasma lactate can be used to predict resting energy expenditure in …

Evaluation of resting energy expenditure in sarcoma patients with localized disease
Increased resting energy expenditure has been postulated to be one of the contributory factors in the development of cancer cachexia. Body composition and resting energy expenditure were evaluated in six male and seven female normal controls in order to validate methodology. Identical methods were …

Factors affecting energy expenditure and the efficiency of fuel utilization : feeding and exercise models
… human responses to short-term perturbations in energy balance brought about through food energy restriction and refeeding, exercise training and the cessation of exercise training or surgical lipectomy. The second aim of this dissertation was to identify factors which might explain differences …

Metabolic engineering analysis of post-burn hepatic hypermetabolism
… hypermetabolism is characterized by elevated resting energy expenditure and increased turnover of proteins, fatty acids, and carbohydrates.

Caloric requirements in the hemodialysis subject
… decreases. Little information exists concerning energy requirements for patients on hemodialysis. Renal failure has been called a wasting disease as evidenced by decreased body weight, body fat, arm circumference and serum proteins. This research was designed to help precisely define energy …

The Effects of High Intensity Intermittent Exercise in Normobaric Hypoxia on Aerobic Capacity and Body Composition in Overweight and Obese Sedentary Adults
… maximal oxygen uptake (VO<sub>2max</sub>), and resting energy expenditure (REE) in overweight and obese sedentary adults. Twelve participates were recruited for the study. Participants were randomly assigned to either a hypoxic training (HT) group equivalent to 3,048 m …

Effects of a high protein diet on weight loss, markers of health, and functional capacity in senior-aged females participating in the Curves® fitness program.
… changes were observed in fat free mass or resting energy expenditure. All groups experienced improvements in strength, muscular endurance, aerobic capacity, and a number of markers of health. Summary: The Curves exercise and weight loss program is effective in senior aged females in …

Novel drug and exercise therapies to restore metabolic function in children with severe burns
… by increased cardiac workload, elevated energy expenditure, altered muscle metabolism, a severe loss in lean body mass, and impaired physical function. This stress response can extend well beyond wound healing, which can negatively impact an individual’s quality of life and their ability …

The role of brown adipose tissue on substrate metabolism and insulin sensitivity in humans
… was to explore the role of BAT in whole-body energy homeostasis, glucose and lipids kinetics, insulin sensitivity, and thermoregulation in humans. To this end, we studied men with (BAT+) or without (BAT-) detectable BAT under prolonged mild cold and thermoneutral conditions using infusion of …

Oxygen Consumption in Sepsis
… the relationships between select demographics, resting energy expenditure (REE), serum lactate, SOFA score mortality index, oxygen consumption [by way of measuring net oxygen consumed, (V02) and net carbon dioxide produced (VC02)], and sepsis. Specific Aims: Aims were to describe 1) patient …

Effects of dietary stimulators of metabolism and mitochondrial biogenesis in vitro and in vivo: Implications for metabolic disease
… thermogenic products for their effects on resting energy expenditure. Additionally, this work outlines the important therapeutic benefits provided by dietary stimulators of metabolism and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma co-activator 1 (PGC-1) in skeletal muscle. Our work …

Effects of exercise modality on metabolic rate, body composition, dietary intake, and eating behaviour
… Pre- and post-intervention measures included resting energy expenditure (REE), anthropometry (height, weight, 8 skinfolds and 6 girth measurements), a three-day diet record, and the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire. Results indicated that exercise modality had no effect on REE, dietary …

Studies of Prognosis and Nutritional Intervention in Liver Cirrhosis and Liver Transplantation
In patients with chronic liver disease protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) is a common finding. These patients are predisposed to higher rates of in-hospital mortality, hepatic encephalopathy and infectious complications. In cirrhotic patients awaiting orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), a strong …

Characterisation of human metabolism in physiological and pathophysiological states
… thesis was to describe the relationships between energy expenditure and body composition in healthy adults and children and in patients with metabolic disorders. In a healthy population resting energy expenditure (REE) is highly influenced by body composition, specifically lean mass (LM). …

Investigating the Relationship between Markers of Ageing and Cardiometabolic Disease
… strength and physical functioning, and (2) resting energy expenditure, an indicator of overall energy metabolism and the major component of daily energy expenditure, in cardio-metabolic risk. I also characterise a new and readily-quantifiable marker of age-related genomic instability, mosaic …

Function and activation of human adipose tissue: The role of genes in the link between physical activity and brown adipose-like phenotype
… tissue activity are associated with increased resting energy expenditure (REE) that may help to control body weight. Exercise may enhance browning formation of WAT and reduce WAT that may lead to health improvements. Aims: a) to examine the effects of physical activity on the link between …

Metabolism and Body Composition in Chronic Inflammatory Arthritis: Prevention and Intervention through Pharmaceutical and Physical Means
… cachexia, a condition characterised by increased resting energy expenditure (REE) and loss of fat-free mass (FFM) leading to functional disability, decreased strength and balance. The aims of this research work was to: a) to develop a new REE equation in order to continuously monitor abnormal …

The Physiology and Bioenergetics of Ultraendurance Mountain Bike Racing
… during an incremental laboratory test. Energy expenditure was estimated by assigning 20.2 kJ to each litre of oxygen consumed. The mean rate of energy expenditure during the race was estimated to be 59.9 kJ•min-1. Furthermore, no anthropometric or physiological measures were correlated …
