Abstract
Oxygen uptake (V˙O2) is an important metric in any exercise test including walking and running. It can be measured using portable spirometers or metabolic analyzers. Those devices are, however, not suitable for constant use by consumers due to their costs, difficulty of operation and their intervening in the physical integrity of their users. Therefore, it is important to develop approaches for the indirect estimation of V˙O2-based measurements of motion parameters, heart rate data and application-specific measurements from consumer-grade sensors. Typically, these approaches are based on linear regression models or neural networks. This study investigates how motion data contribute to V˙O2 estimation accuracy during unconstrained running and walking. The results suggest that a long short term memory (LSTM) neural network can predict oxygen consumption with an accuracy of 2.49 mL/min/kg (95% limits of agreement) based only on speed, speed change, cadence and vertical oscillation measurements from an inertial navigation system combined with a Global Positioning System (INS/GPS) device developed by our group, worn on the torso. Combining motion data and heart rate data can significantly improve the V˙O2 estimation resulting in approximately 1.7-1.9 times smaller prediction errors than using only motion or heart rate data.

Obesity (Silver Spring) 2018; 26:368-377. [PMID: 29276860 PMCID: PMC5783742 DOI: 10.1002/oby.22096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2017] [Revised: 11/07/2017] [Accepted: 11/17/2017] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine whether net cycling efficiency (NET) is altered by 24-hour fasting or overfeeding and whether it correlates with dietary-related energy expenditure (EE) and future weight change. METHODS In a crossover design, healthy subjects fasted or were overfed for 24 hours while in a whole-room calorimeter using five diets with doubled energy needs: standard, high-carbohydrate (75%), high-fat (60%), high-protein (30%), and low-protein (3%) diets. Graded cycling exercise at low power outputs (10-25-50 W) was performed the day before and after each dietary intervention. RESULTS NET did not change following any dietary intervention (all P > 0.05 vs. 0). Individual changes in NET did not correlate with EE responses to dietary interventions. However, the change in NET after low-protein overfeeding was inversely correlated with baseline body fat (r = -0.60, P = 0.01); that is, NET increased in lean but decreased in overweight subjects (Δ = 0.010 ± 0.010 vs. -0.013 ± 0.009, P = 0.0003). Increased NET following the low-protein diet was associated with weight gain after 6 months (r = 0.60, P = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Despite no substantial effect of acute overfeeding or fasting on NET, the change in NET following low-protein overfeeding depends on adiposity and may influence weight change, suggesting that increased efficiency in a setting of protein scarcity is an adaptive response that may ultimately lead to weight gain.

A randomized cross-over study of the effects of macronutrient composition and meal frequency on GLP-1, ghrelin and energy expenditure in humans. Peptides 2017; 93:20-26.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Little is known about human postprandial increase of energy expenditure and satiety-associated hormones in relation to both meal frequency and macronutrient composition. DESIGN Randomized cross-over study with four conditions for each participant. METHODS Seven men and seven women (mean age 23±1.5years) were randomly assigned to the order of intake of a 750kcal drink with the same protein content while having either 20 energy-percent (E%) or 55 E% from carbohydrates and the remaining energy from fat. Participants were also randomized to consume the drinks as one large beverage or as five 150kcal portions every 30min, starting in the fasting state in the morning. Energy expenditure (EE) was determined every 30min by indirect calorimetry. Hormonal responses and suppression of hunger (by visual-analogue scales) were also studied. A p<0.013 was considered statistically significant following Bonferroni-correction. RESULTS The area under the curve (AUC) for EE was higher during the 2.5h after the high-carbohydrate drinks (p=0.005 by Wilcoxon) and also after ingesting one drink compared with five (p=0.004). AUC for serum active GLP-1 was higher after single drinks compared with five beverages (p=0.002). Although GLP-1 levels remained particularly high at the end of the test during the low-carbohydrate meals, the AUC did not differ compared with the high-carbohydrate occasions (low-carbohydrate: 58.9±18pg/ml/h, high-carbohydrate: 45.2±16pg/ml/h, p=0.028). Hunger sensations were suppressed more after single beverages compared with five small drinks (p=0.009). CONCLUSIONS We found higher EE during 2.5h following one large drink compared with five smaller beverages. Since hunger was also suppressed more efficiently, and serum GLP-1 levels were higher after one compared with five smaller drinks, our findings do not support nibbling to avoid hunger or to keep up EE from morning to noon.

Abstract
We compared SenseWear Armband versions (v) 2.2 and 5.2 for estimating energy expenditure in healthy adults. Thirty-four adults (26 women), 30.1 ± 8.7 years old, performed two trials that included light-, moderate- and vigorous-intensity activities: (1) structured routine: seven activities performed for 8-min each, with 4-min of rest between activities; (2) semi-structured routine: 12 activities performed for 5-min each, with no rest between activities. Energy expenditure was measured by indirect calorimetry and predicted using SenseWear v2.2 and v5.2. Compared to indirect calorimetry (297.8 ± 54.2 kcal), the total energy expenditure was overestimated (P < 0.05) by both SenseWear v2.2 (355.6 ± 64.3 kcal) and v5.2 (342.6 ± 63.8 kcal) during the structured routine. During the semi-structured routine, the total energy expenditure for SenseWear v5.2 (275.2 ± 63.0 kcal) was not different than indirect calorimetry (262.8 ± 52.9 kcal), and both were lower (P < 0.05) than v2.2 (312.2 ± 74.5 kcal). The average mean absolute per cent error was lower for the SenseWear v5.2 than for v2.2 (P < 0.001). SenseWear v5.2 improved energy expenditure estimation for some activities (sweeping, loading/unloading boxes, walking), but produced larger errors for others (cycling, rowing). Although both algorithms overestimated energy expenditure as well as time spent in moderate-intensity physical activity (P < 0.05), v5.2 offered better estimates than v2.2.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A combination of bioactive food ingredients (capsaicinoids, epigallocatechin gallate, piperin, and l-carnitine, CBFI) may promote satiety and thermogenesis. The study was conducted in order to assess whether there is any effect on satiety, resting energy expenditure (REE), respiratory quotient, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), free fatty acids (FFA) and glycerol release, following a standardized mixed meal with or without single consumption of a CBFI. DESIGN An 8-week randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial. SETTING Dietetic and Metabolic Unit, Azienda di Servizi alla Persona, University of Pavia and "Villa delle Querce" Clinical Rehabilitation Institute, Rome, Italy. PARTICIPANTS Thirty-seven overweight adults (body mass index [BMI]: 25-35). INTERVENTION Nineteen overweight subjects were included in the supplemented group (14 women, 5 men; age 46.4 ± 6.4; BMI: 30.5 ± 3.3) and 18 in the placebo group (13 women, 5 men; age 40.8 ± 11.5; BMI: 30.1 ± 2.6). Satiety was assessed using 100-mm visual analogue scales (VAS) and the area under the curve was calculated. RESULTS All measured parameters increased significantly in comparison with baseline in response to meal, both with CBFI and with placebo. However, throughout the study day, the supplemented group experienced a significantly greater increase than the placebo group in their sensation of satiety following acute administration of the supplement. CONCLUSION CBFI may therefore be of great value in the treatment of overweight patients by increasing satiety and stimulating thermogenesis.

Abstract
This paper reviews succinctly the evidence for a role of regular exercise in the prevention and the treatment of obesity and of its metabolic complications. Seventeen propositions relevant to an understanding of the topic are considered. The evidence suggests that regular exercise can be an important factor in the development of sustained negative energy balance conditions provided the volume of activity is high. This implies a program of low to moderate intensity exercise performed on an almost daily basis for at least one hour per session. To induce significant weight and fat losses and to treat overweight and obese patients, compliance to the program for several years becomes a necessity. Exercise increases lipid substrate oxidation and may favor carbohydrate intake for the same amount of energy intake. The acute effects of exercise on resting metabolic rate are well documented, but the long-term influences of exercise training seem to be small and are rapidly suppressed with the cessation of training. The obese benefits also from a regular exercise regimen in terms of improved insulin sensitivity, lipid and lipoprotein profile, and blood pressure, as well as reduced risk of death. Regular exercise, such as walking, is a healthy course of action for the overweight or the obese patients.

Abstract
For more than 200 years, the metabolic response that accompanies meal digestion has been characterized, theorized, and experimentally studied. Historically labeled "specific dynamic action" or "SDA", this physiological phenomenon represents the energy expended on all activities of the body incidental to the ingestion, digestion, absorption, and assimilation of a meal. Specific dynamic action or a component of postprandial metabolism has been quantified for more than 250 invertebrate and vertebrate species. Characteristic among all of these species is a rapid postprandial increase in metabolic rate that upon peaking returns more slowly to prefeeding levels. The average maximum increase in metabolic rate stemming from digestion ranges from a modest 25% for humans to 136% for fishes, and to an impressive 687% for snakes. The type, size, composition, and temperature of the meal, as well as body size, body composition, and several environmental factors (e.g., ambient temperature and gas concentration) can each significantly impact the magnitude and duration of the SDA response. Meals that are large, intact or possess a tough exoskeleton require more digestive effort and thus generate a larger SDA than small, fragmented, or soft-bodied meals. Differences in the individual effort of preabsorptive (e.g., swallowing, gastric breakdown, and intestinal transport) and postabsorptive (e.g., catabolism and synthesis) events underlie much of the variation in SDA. Specific dynamic action is an integral part of an organism's energy budget, exemplified by accounting for 19-43% of the daily energy expenditure of free-ranging snakes. There are innumerable opportunities for research in SDA including coverage of unexplored taxa, investigating the underlying sources, determinants, and the central control of postprandial metabolism, and examining the integration of SDA across other physiological systems.

Abstract
Overweight and obesity is one of the risk factors for developing CVD. At present, very little is known about the acute effects of dietary fibre on lipids, glucose and insulin, resting energy expenditure and diet-induced thermogenesis in overweight and obese individuals. This study examined the postprandial metabolic effects of dietary fibre in overweight and obese men. Ten overweight and obese men consumed a mixed meal accompanied by either a high-fibre or low-fibre supplement on two separate visits, in a random order, 1 week apart. Two isoenergetic breakfast meals with similar composition were consumed by ten overweight/obese men. The meals contained either a low (3 g) or high (15 g) amount of fibre, low-fibre meal (LFM) and high-fibre meal (HFM) respectively. Analysis was carried out using paired t test and ANOVA. Serum TAG incremental area under the curve during 6 h of the postprandial period was significantly lower after the consumption of HFM compared with LFM. At the first hour of the postprandial period, plasma apo B48 concentration after consumption of HFM was significantly lower compared with LFM. The resting energy expenditure and diet-induced thermogenesis after both meals was similar during 6 h of the postprandial period. Collectively, these findings suggest that a single acute dose of dietary fibre in the form of psyllium supplement can decrease arterial exposure to TAG and modify chylomicron responses in the postprandial period.

Abstract
An understanding of energy expenditure in hospitalized patients is necessary to determine optimal energy supply in the care of individuals who require nutritional support. A review was conducted of 19 studies in which resting energy expenditure (REE) had been measured using indirect calorimetry and compared with estimated basal energy expenditure (BEE) from the Harris-Benedict equation. Studies of patients with burns, head injuries, and fever were excluded because REE is known to be increased in these conditions. The studies reported data on 1256 patients with the following diagnoses: postoperative (28%), trauma or sepsis (26%), cancer (18%), pulmonary disease (9%), cardiovascular disease (2%), miscellaneous (9%), and unspecified (6%). The average REE in the 19 studies was 113% of the BEE. The mean +/- SD REE/BEE ratio was higher in 11 studies in which the REE was measured during feeding than in 5 studies in which the measurement was made during fasting (117% +/- 3% vs 105% +/- 4%; P = .047). In those 11 studies, overfeeding may have contributed to higher REE values than otherwise would have been observed. Some evidence indicated that the REE/BEE ratio is higher in more severe illness, but results were inconsistent. Unfortunately, little information is available concerning total energy expenditure, which includes the contribution of physical activity. It appears that most patients can be fed adequately with energy equal to 100% to 120% of estimated BEE. Hypoenergetic feeding may be appropriate in some overweight and obese individuals. Additional research in hospitalized patients on total energy expenditure and on the relationship between severity of illness and energy expenditure is needed.

Abstract
Several factors may alter apparent resting metabolic rate (RMR) during measurement with indirect calorimetry. Likewise, numerous indirect calorimetry measurement protocols have been developed over the years, and the methodology employed could influence test results. As part of a larger project to determine the role of indirect calorimetry in clinical practice, a systematic review of the literature was undertaken to determine the ideal subject condition and test methodology for obtaining reliable measurement of RMR with indirect calorimetry. Food, ethanol, caffeine, and nicotine affect RMR for a variable number of hours after consumption; therefore, intake of these items must be controlled before measurement. Activities of daily living increase metabolic rate, but a short rest (< or =20 minutes) before testing is sufficient for the effect to dissipate. Moderate or vigorous physical activity has a longer carryover effect and therefore must be controlled in the hours before a measurement of RMR is attempted. Limited data were found regarding ideal ambient conditions for RMR testing. Measurement duration of 10 minutes with the first 5 minutes deleted and the remaining 5 minutes having a coefficient of variation <10% gave accurate readings of RMR. Individuals preparing for RMR measurement via indirect calorimetry should refrain from eating, consuming ethanol and nicotine, smoking, and engaging in physical activity for varying times before measurement. The test site should be physically comfortable and the individual should have 10 to 20 minutes to rest before measurement commences. A 10-minute test duration with the first 5 minutes discarded and the remaining 5 minutes having a coefficient of variation of <10% will give an accurate measure of RMR.

Abstract
For years, proponents of some fad diets have claimed that higher amounts of protein facilitate weight loss. Only in recent years have studies begun to examine the effects of high protein diets on energy expenditure, subsequent energy intake and weight loss as compared to lower protein diets. In this study, we conducted a systematic review of randomized investigations on the effects of high protein diets on dietary thermogenesis, satiety, body weight and fat loss. There is convincing evidence that a higher protein intake increases thermogenesis and satiety compared to diets of lower protein content. The weight of evidence also suggests that high protein meals lead to a reduced subsequent energy intake. Some evidence suggests that diets higher in protein result in an increased weight loss and fat loss as compared to diets lower in protein, but findings have not been consistent. In dietary practice, it may be beneficial to partially replace refined carbohydrate with protein sources that are low in saturated fat. Although recent evidence supports potential benefit, rigorous longer-term studies are needed to investigate the effects of high protein diets on weight loss and weight maintenance.

Abstract
The influence of the source of dietary fat on postprandial thermogenesis and substrate oxidation rates, was examined in twelve postmenopausal women aged 57-73 years, with BMI 21.9-38.3 kg/m(2). A single blind, randomised, paired comparison of two high-fat, isoenergetic, mixed test meals was conducted. The major source of fat was either cream (CREAM) or extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). RMR, diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) and substrate oxidation rates over 5 h were measured by indirect calorimetry. There were no differences in body weight, RMR, fasting carbohydrate or fat oxidation rates between the two occasions. DIT (EVOO 97 (SD 46) v. CREAM 76 (SD 69) kJ/5 h and EVOO 5.2 (SD 2.5) v. CREAM 4.1 (SD 3.7)% energy) did not differ between the two test meals. The postprandial increase in carbohydrate oxidation rates, relative to their respective fasting values (DeltaCOX), was significantly lower following the EVOO meal (EVOO 10.6 (SD 8.3) v. CREAM 17.5 (SD 10) g/5 h; paired t test, P=0.023), while postprandial fat oxidation rates (DeltaFOX) were significantly higher (EVOO 0.0 (SD 4.4) v. CREAM -3.6 (sd 4.0) g/5 h; P=0.028). In the eight obese subjects, however, DIT was significantly higher following the EVOO meal (EVOO 5.1 (SD 2.0) v. CREAM 2.5 (sd 2.9) %; P=0.01). This was accompanied by a significantly lower DeltaCOX (EVOO 10.9 (SD 9.9) v. CREAM 17.3 (SD 10.5) g/5 h; P=0.03) and significantly higher DeltaFOX (EVOO 0.11 (SD 4.4) v. CREAM -4.1 (SD 4.5) g/5 h, P=0.034). The present study showed that olive oil significantly promoted postprandial fat oxidation and stimulated DIT in abdominally obese postmenopausal women.

Abstract
The day-to-day variation in oxygen consumption (VO2) during ergometer cycling by 20 healthy adolescents, 10 females and 10 males, was measured using indirect calorimetry. The two sets of measurements were performed on two consecutive days. Great care was taken to minimize possible disturbing factors. Cycling started at 50 and 100 W for female and male adolescents, respectively. The load was increased at a rate of 5 W 30 s(-1). In order to reach steady state, the load was kept constant for 3.5 min twice during the cycling session, at 100 and 130 W for the females and at 130 and 160 W for the males. Cycling continued until exhaustion. The maximal loads were 196 W (mean) and 271 W (mean) for females and males, respectively. At the maximal loads the day-to-day variation (+/-2 SD) in oxygen consumption (VO2) was +/-330 ml min(-1) for females and 390 ml min(-1) for males. At the submaximal loads the day-to-day variation in heart rate (HR) was 9.3 beats min(-1) (+/-2 SD) (coefficient of variation, CV=3.4% at 130 W) for both sexes. The day-to-day variation in oxygen consumption (VO2) was +/-199 ml min(-1) (+/-2 SD) at the different submaximal loads and did not differ between female and male adolescents (CV=5.7% at 130 W). This natural day-to-day variation must be taken into consideration when using a submaximal ergometer cycling test for the evaluation of physical capacity in the two sexes.

Abstract
To investigate the potential limiting steps of peak metabolic rates, we examined gas exchange rates (vdot (O2), vdot (CO2)), respiratory exchange ratio (RER), breathing frequency, tidal volume, minute ventilation volume (V.e) as well as the heart rate, systemic blood flow and stroke volume of Burmese pythons (Python molurus) while fasting at rest, exercising, digesting and exercising while digesting. All measured variables increased significantly during exercise (crawling at 0.4 km h(−)(1) and at vdot (O2max)), highlighted by a 17-fold increase in vdot (CO2) and a 24-fold increase in V.e. During the digestion of a meal equivalent to 25 % of the snake's body mass, pythons responded with increases in vdot (O2) and heart rate similar to those experienced during exercise, along with a 4.5-fold increase in systemic blood flow. Interestingly, pythons hyperventilated while exercising, whereas they hypoventilated during digestion. The combined demands of exercise and digestion resulted in significantly higher vdot (O2), vdot (CO2), breathing frequency and heart rate than during either exercise or digestion alone. Evidently, the capacities of the ventilatory and cardiovascular systems to transport oxygen to locomotor muscles are not a limiting factor in the attainment of peak metabolic rates during exercise in pythons

Abstract
The effects of dietary composition (high-fat [FAT] or high-carbohydrate [CHO]) and exercise timing (preprandial exercise [Ex-] or postprandial exercise [-Ex]) on postprandial substrate utilization and sympathoadrenal function were studied in seven women aged 20 to 21 years. The experimental protocol included four different sessions (Ex-FAT, FAT-Ex, Ex-CHO, and CHO-Ex). The FAT and CHO diets provided 48% and 5% fat, respectively. On the experimental days, subjects ate a meal containing the same caloric energy at lunchtime, and they exercised for 30 minutes on a bicycle ergometer at an intensity of 60% maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) before and after the meal, followed by rest for 3 hours. The resting respiratory quotient (RQ) was significantly lower (P < .05) with the FAT diet or postprandial exercise. The mean RQ during the experimental period was 0.78, 0.75, 0.81, and 0.77 in Ex-FAT, FAT-Ex, Ex-CHO, and CHO-Ex groups, respectively. The total area under the curve of serum norepinephrine (NE) as an index of NE secretion was significantly higher (P < .05) with the FAT diet or postprandial exercise (130.2, 175.8, 33.0, and 136.9 ng x mL(-1) x min, respectively). A negative correlation was observed between the RQ and the total area of NE (r = .49, P < .05). The serum thyroid hormone level was not influenced by dietary composition and exercise timing. These results suggest that postprandial exercise, especially after intake of a FAT diet, increases fat utilization via a slightly larger decrease in the RQ. This might be related to the sympathoadrenal system at rest and during exercise.

Abstract
The day-to-day variation in oxygen consumption (VO2) and energy expenditure (EE) during horizontal treadmill walking was measured using indirect calorimetry in 20 female adolescents (mean age 17.3 years). Two different walking speeds were used: 5 km h-1 and an individually convenient speed of 3.0 km h-1 (mean). The two sets of measurements were performed on 2 consecutive days, and great care was taken to minimize possible disturbing factors. The mean VO2 was 919 ml min-1 at 5 km h-1 and 622 ml min-1 at the individual speed, and the mean values of EE were 4.5 kcal min-1 and 3.1 kcal min-1 respectively. The individual day-to-day variation in VO2 (at 5 km h-1) was between -11.7% and +12.6% of the mean VO2. The coefficient of variation (CV) was 6.4% when values were calculated in ml min-1 kg-1. The energy expenditure varied somewhat less between the 2 days (CV = 5.7%). The corresponding value for EE when walking at the individual speed was 7.2%, and the mean day-to-day variation in VO2 was 7.5% (CV). The rate of perceived exertion according to Borg's scale was lower on day 2 (11.9) compared with day 1 (13.0) when walking at 5 km h-1. There was no difference in heart rate between the 2 days. It is concluded that EE varies somewhat less than VO2 on successive days, probably because of an interchangeable relationship between breathing gases, depending on which substrate is used for combustion. When using VO2 and EE for evaluation of physical capacity, the day-to-day variation in the measurements must be taken into consideration.

Abstract
This review has examined the factors that influence the thermic effect of food (TEF) by evaluating 49 studies that have compared subjects who are obese with those who are lean. Meal size, meal composition, the nature of the previous diet, insulin resistance, physical activity, and ageing influence TEF. In the studies of individuals who are obese or lean, of those who used intravenous glucose infusions, all but one found an impaired thermic response. A total of 29 out of 49 studies of individuals of normal weight or with obesity were identified where there was no difference in age between the groups, and where the subjects who were "overweight" were clearly obese. Of these 29, 22 reported a statistically significant reduction in TEF, 3 studies were not designed to look primarily at the effect of obesity on TEF, and the other 4 may not have had sufficiently palatable meals. From this review, we conclude that the reduction of TEF in obesity is related to the degree of insulin resistance, which may be influenced by a low level of sympathetic activity.

Abstract
In obesity, a central pattern of fat distribution is mostly associated with hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and hyperlipemia, thus promoting the development of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. In addition, in obesity, changes in energy expenditure are hypothesized to be involved in the development or maintenance of excessive body fat storage. In this study, abdominal fat distribution by computed tomographic (CT) scan was used to study the relation between the visceral fat depot, insulin secretion, and insulin sensitivity in a group of obese subjects with normal glucose tolerance (n = 26; body mass index [BMI], 39 +/- 1 kg/m2) and a group of normal-weight control subjects (n = 9; BMI, 23 +/- 1 kg/m2). The minimal model method was used to assess insulin sensitivity, S(I), and first-phase (phi1) and second-phase (phi2) beta-cell sensitivity from plasma glucose, insulin, and C-peptide concentrations measured during an intravenous glucose tolerance test ([IVGTT] 0.33 g/kg body weight). Moreover, we evaluated the relationships between these parameters and the resting metabolic rate (RMR) and glucose-induced thermogenesis (GIT) measured by indirect calorimetry. The data show the following: (1) in obese subjects, phi1 is greater but not statistically different from the value in control subjects (252 +/- 41 v 157 +/- 25 dimensionless 10(9)); (2) phi2 is significantly higher in obese subjects (27 +/- 4 v 14 +/- 2 min(-1) x 10(9), P < .05), with a positive correlation between the amount of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and phi2 (r = .49, P < .05); (3) S(I) is decreased in the obese group (2.8 +/- 0.3 v 9.7 +/- 1.6 10(-4) x min(-1)/microU x mL(-1)), P < .0001), with a negative correlation of S(I) with the adiposity index BMI (r = -.67, P < .0001) and VAT (r = .56, P < .05); (4) RMR, expressed in absolute terms, was significantly increased in obese versus lean subjects (5.9 +/- 0.2 v 4.6 +/- 0.3 kJ/min, P < .01), whereas when RMR was adjusted for fat-free mass (FFM), the difference between the two groups disappeared (0.09 +/- 0.003 v 0.09 +/- 0.002 kJ/min x kg FFM). We did not observe any difference in GIT between lean and obese subjects. Moreover, GIT was significantly correlated with FFM (r = .69, P < .005), but not with BMI. The amount of VAT did not correlate with RMR or GIT. In conclusion, these results suggest that in obese subjects with normal glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity is impaired and the beta-cell hyperresponse to glucose is mainly due to an enhanced second-phase beta-cell secretion. The degree of visceral fat deposition seems to affect insulin secretion and worsens insulin sensitivity, but does not influence energy expenditure.

Abstract
This study was designed to establish whether moderate aerobic exercise (2 h at 30-35% VO2 max) in lean non-athletic male adults had a prolonged stimulatory effect on energy expenditure while at rest. Four weight maintaining male adults had their 24 h energy expenditure measured by direct calorimetry on four separate occasions. During the 24 h in the calorimeter each subject received a diet which in total supplied 35 kcal (146 kJ) per kg body weight. All studies in an individual were completed within four to six weeks during which time body weight remained stable. On two of these 24 h periods, individuals rested throughout while on the other two, they also performed the prescribed exercise. This consisted of cycling for two 1 h sessions; the first while they were fasting while the second period was approximately 45 min after consuming a 800 kcal (3.4 MJ) meal. Total 24 h energy expenditure was greater on exercise (8.3 +/- 1.8 MJ/day) than non-exercising days (6.3 +/- 1.4 MJ/day, P < 0.001) In contrast when the acute effects of the cycling where removed 24 h resting energy expenditure on the exercise day (6.8 +/- 1.7 MJ/day) was not significantly different from that of rest days (95% confidence intervals of the difference ranged from -0.36 to 1.27 MJ/day). This study did not demonstrate a prolonged stimulatory influence on non-exercising resting energy expenditure following physical activity likely to be achieved by non-athletes. These data provide no evidence that such exercise is associated with a greater energy deficit than that due to the activity itself.

Abstract
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is commonly predicted using the Harris-Benedict (HB) equations, but an overestimation of 10% to 15% is normally found. More recent studies have proposed equations with a better predictive value. In this study, we explore the relationship between measured RMR and HB in 67 healthy volunteers and in a data set from the literature and compared measured RMR with six more recent equations. Mean differences between RMR and HB were 21%, 12%, 10%, and 4% for the lowest to the highest RMR quartile, respectively, and 20%, 8%, 6%, and -4% for Owen's subjects. Among the six recent equations, only the World Health Organization (WHO) equations predicted RMR within 10% in 100% of the cases. Our results suggest that overestimation of RMR by HB is not a homogenous finding but is inversely related to RMR. This may have important implications for predicting RMR in women and in patients with diminished lean body mass. In addition, the WHO equations appear more precise than the HB equations.

Abstract
A trial on total metabolism was conducted in eight nonpregnant, nonlactating sows over eight periods, each of 16 days duration, to measure potential fatty acid induced thermogenesis. During the first and last experimental periods, the animals received a basal ration which just covered the energy maintenance requirement. In the second to seventh periods supplements of olive oil, fish oil, or puffed wheat starch as reference nutrient were added to the diet in random sequence at two levels up to 50% above the maintenance requirement. All rations were calculated with reference to the sows' initial weight and remained quantitatively unchanged throughout the experiment. The animals were fed twice daily. During each metabolism period a complete energy balance was assessed for all sows by means of collection technique (feed, feces, urine), and 48-h measurements of the gas exchange in a respiration chamber. The sows' body mass increased linearly during the course of the experiment by 5.8 kg per period. The three supplement types had no influence on the animals' final body weight, wich averaged 205.5 kg with the starch supplement, 204.8 kg with olive oil, and 205.8 kg with fish oil. Energy digestibility (DE/GE) was 100% for all three supplements, and metabolizability of energy (ME/GE) one percentage point less. Carbon and energy depositions showed a pronounced linear relationship to the level of supplementation and were also influenced by the type of supplement. Heat production was 20.9 MJ/d after feeding the basal ration alone and, taking the average of the two supplementation levels, 21.6 MJ for the starch supplement, 21.0 MJ for olive oil, and 20.6 MJ for fish oil.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The case for obesity per se being a major cause of insulin resistance has been made. There is evidence that each of the control points of insulin on glucose metabolism are negatively influenced by lipid oversupply, a characteristic of the obese state. The answer to the corollary, whether insulin resistance (a universal concomitant of obesity) can in turn lead to obesity via a decrease in thermogenesis, is more complex. Overall, the answer would appear to be no. On a population basis, obese individuals would not appear to have lower metabolic rates, whether expressed on a lean tissue or any other basis, than lean individuals. Even in the subpopulation of hypometabolic obese, there are no convincing data that the reduced metabolic rate is linked to particularly severe insulin resistance. Further, improving insulin action by weight loss would not appear to increase thermogenesis as would be predicted if insulin resistance impaired thermogenesis. A case can be made for reductions in a specific aspect of energy expenditure in obesity, that of meal-induced or glucose-induced thermogenesis, and this may be due to insulin resistance. However, meal-induced thermogenesis is a small component of total energy expenditure and total energy expenditure is not different between lean and obese. That leaves the intriguing possibility that a relative failure of prandial thermogenesis has an impact upon energy balance via impairment of satiety (related to reduced metabolic flux) and thus by increasing intake. While a potentially fruitful research avenue, too few data exist on this possibility for it to be anything more than speculative at this stage.

Abstract
The heat increment of feeding was estimated in harbour seals (Phoca vitulina). Seals were given different amounts of herring, ranging from 0.8 to 2.65 kg. The caloric content of the herring ranged from 6575 to 12560 kJ.kg-1 depending on time of year. Metabolic rate increased within 30 min after feeding, and the magnitude and duration of heat increment of feeding depended on the size of the meal and the caloric content of the herring. Measured heat increment of feeding was up to 14.9% of gross energy intake and metabolic rate increased as much as 46% above resting, postabsorptive metabolic rate for 15 h duration in a harbour seal with a body weight of approximately 40 kg.

Abstract
This experiment investigated the effects of intensity of exercise on excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) in eight trained men and eight women. Three exercise intensities were employed 40%, 50%, and 70% of the predetermined maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). All ventilation measured was undertaken with a standard, calibrated, open circuit spirometry system. No differences in the 40%, 50% and 70% VO2max trials were observed among resting levels of oxygen consumption (VO2) for either the men or the women. The men had significantly higher resting VO2 values being 0.31 (SEM 0.01) l.min-1 than did the women, 0.26 (SEM 0.01) l.min-1 (P < 0.05). The results indicated that there were highly significant EPOC for both the men and the women during the 3-h postexercise period when compared with resting levels and that these were dependent upon the exercise intensity employed. The duration of EPOC differed between the men and the women but increased with exercise intensity: for the men 40%--31.2 min; 50%--42.1 min; and 70%--47.6 min and for the women, 40%--26.9 min; 50%--35.6 min; and 70%--39.1 min. The highest EPOC, in terms of both time and energy utilised was at 70% VO2max. The regression equation for the men, where y = O2 in litres, and x = exercise intensity as a percentage of maximum was y = 0.380x + 1.9 (r2 = 0.968) and for the women is y = 0.374x - 0.857 (r2 = 0.825).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Mexican Americans appear to have a strong genetic predisposition to insulin resistance, android obesity, and type II diabetes, apparently as a function of Native American genetic heritage. Theoretical considerations suggest that insulin resistance may be a primary factor that plays a causative role in the induction of both obesity and diabetes. Measures which promote optimal insulin sensitivity--chromium picolinate, brewer's yeast, soluble fiber supplements, metformin, very-low-fat diet, exercise training--may have value for preventing, treating, or retarding the onset of obesity and diabetes, and merit clinical evaluation in this regard. Correction of insulin resistance may also lessen cardiovascular risk, in part by reducing LDL cholesterol and improving risk factors associated with Syndrome X. These comments are likely to be valid for other Native American groups at high risk for diabetes.

Abstract
To explore the relevance of distinguishing between resting and global energy expenditure in newborn infants, oxygen consumption (VO2) was measured during extremes of physical activity in 17 parenterally fed newborn infants with a large range of body weights (1.0-3.4 kg) and gestational ages (28-41 weeks). Under constant nutrient intakes, each infant served as his/her own control when comparing VO2 during resting conditions and spontaneous intense physical activity, called exercise. VO2 was significantly correlated with body weight at rest (r = 0.96). But during intense activity, the better predictor of exercise-induced VO2 was body weight in the smaller infants (< 2.0 kg) and gestational age in the larger infants (> 35 weeks). The difference in VO2 between both levels of activity represented the oxygen cost of exercise, which decreased (P < 0.01) with body weight. For clinical purposes, the physical activity of low-birth-weight infants does not contribute substantially to their energy balance.

Abstract
Whether or not a high intake of carbohydrate increases postprandial energy expenditure during exercise was studied in rats. The rats were meal-fed regularly twice a day (0800-0900 hours and 1800-1900 hours) on either a high carbohydrate (CHO) (carbohydrate/fat/protein = 70/5/25, % of energy) or high fat (FAT) (35/40/25) diet for 12 days. On the final day of the experiment, all of the rats in each dietary group were fed an evening meal containing equal amounts of energy (420 kJ.kg-1 body mass). After the meal, they were divided into three subgroups: pre-exercise control (PC), exercise (EX), and resting control (RC). The PC-CHO and PC-FAT groups were sacrificed at 2030 hours. The EX-CHO and EX-FAT groups were given a period of 3-h swimming, and then sacrificed at 2330 hours. The RC-CHO and RC-FAT groups rested after the meal and were sacrificed at 2330 hours. Total energy expenditure during the period 1.5 h from the commencement of exercise was higher in EX-CHO than in EX-FAT. The respiratory exchange ratio was also higher in EX-CHO than in EX-FAT, suggesting enhanced carbohydrate oxidation in the former. Compared with both PC-FAT and RC-FAT, the liver glycogen content of EX-FAT rats was significantly decreased by exercise. On the other hand, the liver glycogen content of both EX-CHO and RC-CHO was higher than that of PC-CHO rats. The glycogen content of soleus muscle of EX-FAT was slightly decreased during exercise, however, that of EX-CHO increased significantly.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Nine 'large-eating' (approximately 12 MJ/d) and nine 'small-eating' (approximately 5.3 MJ/d) women were selected from the population on the basis of diet and activity diaries. At rest and in the post-absorptive state the rate of oxygen consumption (VO2)/kg fat-free mass (FFM) and rate of carbon dioxide production (VCO2)/kg FFM were 9-17% higher (P < 0.05) in the 'large-eaters' than in the 'small-eaters'. As energy expenditure was increased by walking at 2.4, 3.9 and 5.4 km/h the differences between the two experimental groups for both VO2/kg FFM and VCO2/kg FFM were decreased to negligible values, but energy expended on a body-weight basis (MJ/kg per min) remained significantly higher (5-10%) in 'large-eaters'. Oral temperature was also consistently higher (up to 0.5 degrees) in this group both at rest and during sitting, standing and walking activities. Although the average thermic effect of a standardized liquid meal tended to be higher (27%; not significant) in the 'small-eaters', the other results demonstrate that the 'large-eating' females had a markedly higher rate of energy expenditure at rest and during light physical activities.

Abstract
The thermogenic effects of pre- and postprandial exercise was examined in six obese premenopausal females. Using open circuit calorimetry, energy expenditure was measured for 3 hours following five separate treatments: Resting Control, Exercise Only (25 min cycle at 60% VO2 max), Meal Only (902 kcal mixed meal), Exercise-Meal, and Meal-Exercise. Meal Only, Exercise-Meal, and Meal-Exercise were significantly higher than Rest Only and Exercise Only treatments. However, Meal-Exercise resulted in the greatest energy expenditure. These results suggest that in obese female subjects exercise following a meal will produce the greatest thermogenic response and could possibly influence weight maintenance or weight loss if implemented in food and exercise patterns of behavior.

Abstract
Post-meal energy expenditure (TEM) was compared for 14 healthy obese (body fat = 45.3%, body mass index, BMI = 35.9 kg m-2) and 9 healthy nonobese (body fat = 20.7%, BMI = 17.8 kg m-2) adolescent girls. The test meal for both groups was a standard 3348.8-kJ, 0.473-1 chocolate milkshake of 15% protein (casein), 40% fat (polyunsaturated/saturated ratio = 0.05; 75 mg cholesterol) and 45% carbohydrate (lactose and sucrose). Glucose, insulin and resting energy expenditure (RMR) were measured at rest prior to meal consumption and 20, 40, 60, 90, and 120 min after the meal. Cumulative net TEM was calculated as the integrated area under the TEM curve with RMR as baseline. Reliability was assessed by retesting 4 subjects, and a placebo effect was tested by administering a flavored energy-free drink. Results indicated high reliability and no placebo effect. The meal resulted in a greater rise in insulin and glucose for the obese compared to the nonobese subjects (P < or = 0.05), and a significant TEM for both groups (P < or = 0.05). The cumulative TEM (W kg-1) was 61.9% greater for the nonobese (P < 0.01) when expressed relative to body mass, and 33.2% greater for the nonobese (P < or = 0.01) when expressed relative to the fat-free body mass. Expressed relative to the meal, the TEM was 25.5% less for the obese (P < 0.01). The data support an energy conservation hypothesis for obese female adolescents.

Abstract
Obesity is an extremely prevalent condition that is associated with a range of deleterious health effects. While traditionally considered a disorder primarily of energy intake, accumulating evidence underscores the importance of energy expenditure in the development and treatment of obesity. As the most variable component of energy expenditure, physical activity can influence the development of obesity as well as success in achieving both initial and long term weight loss. Among the types of exercise-related physiological and behavioural factors most likely to be involved in the development of obesity are reductions in the amount of physical activity actually performed, differences in the effect of physical activity on diet-induced thermogenesis, and modeling of deleterious dietary and exercise patterns on the part of the family and other facets of the environment. In contrast, there is relatively little evidence supporting the common belief that obese individuals have a significantly greater energy intake than nonobese individuals. With respect to weight reduction in the already obese, while increased physical activity levels often augment caloric restriction programmes in aiding initial weight loss, evidence suggests that physical activity may be particularly important in helping to sustain initial losses through increased total energy output, preservation of lean body mass, and changes in substrate utilisation. The psychological benefits received from regular participation in a physical activity programme may serve as an additional impetus for engaging in such activities over the long run. Developing programmes to aid in long term adherence to physical activity regimens remains the most critical challenge. Recent results suggest the utility of regular, brief contacts in aiding sustained physical activity participation in individuals attempting to control their weight.

Abstract
The study investigated the effect of pre-exercise protein ingestion upon the oxygen consumption (VO2), respiratory exchange ratio (R) and perceived exertion (PE) of athletes during treadmill running at intensities of approximately 60, 80, 90 and 100% of their VO2max. Seventeen female athletes aged between 17 and 22 years participated in the study. Subjects completed six assessment sessions, each being preceded by one of the following dietary regimens: a protein solution ingested 3h before assessment (P3), a protein solution ingested 1 h before assessment (P1) and the ingestion of water 1-3 h before assessment (B). The subjects' VO2, R and PE were measured at all exercise intensities using standardized procedures. The results showed that P1 produced significantly higher values for VO2 (P less than 0.05) at all exercise intensities and was associated with an increased PE (P less than 0.01). The findings could have implications for athletes when considering the composition of their pre-exercise meal, especially if performing in activities which require the participants to exercise close to or at their VO2max.

Abstract
The effects of exercise on energy balance have been investigated in mice accustomed to eating their daily food ration in three meals. A meal period lasts 1 hour, and during that period mice were allowed to eat unrestrictedly a pelleted stock diet. Two series of experiments were conducted. In one series of experiments indirect calorimetric measurements were carried out in untrained mice that were assigned to 3 experimental groups; a first group of mice was allowed to rest; a second group of mice was exercised immediately before one of the 3 meals; a third group of mice was exercised immediately after one of the 3 meals. The exercise bout consisted of 1 hour of forced exercise on a rodent treadmill at a speed of 20 meters per minute. O2 consumption (VO2) and CO2 production were monitored throughout a full day except at the time the exercising animals were on the treadmill. In a second series of experiments long-term energy balance measurements were carried out. Mice were then assigned to experimental conditions similar to those previously described for 31 days during which period food intake and body weight were continuously monitored. At the end of 31 days of experiment, mice were killed, and their carcasses were individually analysed for their contents of energy, fat and protein. Carcass and food gross energy contents were assessed by bomb calorimetry. At the end of the long-term energy balance trial, the percentage of fat, the energy gain, the energy density and the weight of the dry carcass were significantly lower in exercised groups of mice than in the resting group of animals.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The effect of meal composition and energy content on the thermic effect of food (TEF) was investigated in sixteen adult, non-obese female subjects. Each subject consumed four different test meals, each meal on a different day. Meals were of high-carbohydrate-low-fat (HCLF) with 0.70, 0.19 and 0.11 of the energy content from carbohydrate, fat and protein respectively, and low-carbohydrate-high-fat (LCHF) with 0.24, 0.65 and 0.11 of the energy content from carbohydrate, fat and protein respectively. The energy contents of the test meals for each composition were 2520 kJ (600 kcal) and 5040 kJ (1200 kcal). The basal metabolic rate (BMR) and the postprandial metabolic rate (PP-MR) were measured by open-circuit indirect calorimetry using the Douglas bag technique while the subjects were in the supine position. The mean BMR value was 3.63 (SE 0.07) kJ/min (0.87 kcal/min (SE 0.017)). The 5 h-TEF value for the 2520 kJ (600 kcal) HCLF meal was 228 (SE 11.8) kJ (54 kcal (SE 2.8)) and for the LCHF meal was 228 (SE 9.6) kJ (54 kcal (SE 2.3)). The corresponding values for the 5040 kJ (1200 kcal) meals were 356 (SE 20.4) kJ (85 kcal (SE 4.9)) and 340 (SE 15.8) kJ (81 kcal (SE 3.8)). There was no significant (P = 0.49) effect of meal composition on TEF, but the energy content of the meals had a significant (P less than 0.001) effect on TEF. In all subjects and for all meals, PP-MR had not returned to premeal level 5 h after a meal, indicating that the TEF values measured underestimate total TEF. The present study suggests that TEF is significantly influenced by the energy content of a meal but not by meal composition.

Abstract
We have previously shown that following recovery from 45 min exercise at 67% maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) the thermic effect of a glucose load is increased by 65% over that observed on a non-exercise day (Young et al. 1986). The purpose of this study was to determine if potentiation of the thermic effect of glucose by prior exercise is dependent on exercise intensity. The thermic response to a 1674 kJ glucose load was measured in five subjects in the absence of exercise (control) and following recovery from 45 min cycling exercise at each of three intensities: low (34% VO2max), moderate (54% VO2max), and high (75% VO2max). The average percentage increase in oxygen consumption over baseline due to glucose ingestion was similar for the control (9.9%, SE 2.0%), and the low- (10.2%, SE 0.9%) and moderate- (12.6%, SE 1.2%) intensity exercise conditions, while a significant increase in average VO2 was observed after the high-intensity condition (18.0%, SE 2.3%, P less than 0.05). The total energy expenditure (kJ) over baseline for 3 h was also similar for the control (84.5, SE 11.7), and the low-(100.0, SE 9.2) and moderate- (118.8, SE 5.0) intensity exercise conditions. The thermic response following high-intensity exercise (146.4 kJ, SE 13.4) was significantly greater than that observed in the control (P less than 0.01) or low-intensity (P less than 0.05) exercise conditions. These findings demonstrate that unlike prior high-intensity exercise (75% VO2max), low- or moderate-intensity exercise (i.e., 34% or 54% VO2max) fails to potentiate the thermic effect of a glucose load.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Decreases in resting metabolic rate and thermic effect of exercise during and after caloric restriction contribute to a reduced rate of weight reduction and subsequent difficulty in weight maintenance. Increasing exercise increases the thermic effect of exercise and prevents a decrease in resting metabolic rate, thereby, improving the rate of weight loss. A combined program of caloric restriction, exercise, and behavior therapy (including relapse prevention training and social support systems) is the most successful approach to long term weight reduction efforts. Pharmacologic treatment is currently limited, but there are three areas of development: agents which reduce energy intake, inhibitors of lipid synthesis, and thermogenesis enhancers. Evidence for improving efficiency of weight loss prevention and prevention of weight regain during repeated cycles of dieting (yo-yo phenomenon) exists in rat studies but not in a preliminary human investigation.
