Influence of carbohydrate and fat intake on diet-induced thermogenesis and brown fat activity in rats fed low protein diets
NJ Rothwell, MJ Stock - The Journal of nutrition, 1987 - Elsevier
Voluntary intake of protein, fat and carbohydrate (CHO) was modified by feeding young rats
either a control purified diet [% metabolizable energy (ME): protein 21, fat 7, CHO 72], a
control diet plus sucrose solution (20%) to drink (final intakes 17, 6 and 77% ME as protein,
fat and CHO, respectively) or a low protein diet substituted with either CHO (8, 7 and 85%
ME as protein, fat and CHO, respectively) or fat (8, 20 and 72% ME as protein, fat and CHO,
respectively). Total ME intakes corrected for body size were similar for all rats, but body …
