[HTML][HTML] Long-term persistence of adaptive thermogenesis in subjects who have maintained a reduced body weight
M Rosenbaum, J Hirsch, DA Gallagher… - The American journal of …, 2008 - Elsevier
Background: After weight loss, total energy expenditure—in particular, energy expenditure at
low levels of physical activity—is lower than predicted by actual changes in body weight and
composition. An important clinical issue is whether this reduction, which predisposes to
weight regain, persists over time. Objective: We aimed to determine whether this
disproportionate reduction in energy expenditure persists in persons who have maintained a
body-weight reduction of≥ 10% for> 1 y. Design: Seven trios of sex-and weight-matched …
