Diet-induced thermogenesis in man: thermic effects of single protein and carbohydrate test meals in lean and obese subjects. 1987

J Steiniger, and H Karst, and R Noack, and H D Steglich

Postprandial thermogenesis of 8 healthy males of normal body weight and 17 healthy obese subjects with a body weight gain of more than 10 kg per year was measured continuously by means of a respiratory chamber over 10 h after test meals of 1 and 2 MJ protein (casein) and 2 MJ carbohydrate (hydrolized starch). The total thermic response to all test meals was reduced by about 50% in the obese subjects. The thermic response was related to body weight, energy intake, resting metabolic rate and weight loss during restricted energy intake. The necessity for a careful characterization of the obese subjects in studies of thermogenesis and of efficiency of energy utilization in obesity is pointed out. It is suggested that thermic response to food can be considered as a suitable indicator for the distinction between people of different metabolic efficiency.

D008297 Male Males
D009765 Obesity A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).
D001835 Body Weight The mass or quantity of heaviness of an individual. It is expressed by units of pounds or kilograms. Body Weights,Weight, Body,Weights, Body
D002151 Calorimetry The measurement of the quantity of heat involved in various processes, such as chemical reactions, changes of state, and formations of solutions, or in the determination of the heat capacities of substances. The fundamental unit of measurement is the joule or the calorie (4.184 joules). (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed)
