Influence of dietary protein level on body composition and energy expenditure in calorically restricted overweight cats

Energy expenditure of calorically restricted rats is higher than predicted from their altered body composition.

Debate exists over the impact of caloric restriction (CR) on the level of energy expenditure. At the whole animal level, CR decreases metabolic rates but in parallel body mass also declines. The question arises whether the reduction in metabolism is greater, smaller or not different from the expectation based on body mass change alone. Answers to this question depend on how metabolic rate is no...

Influence of Dietary Energy and Protein Intake on Yield and Composition of Milk in Crossbred Dairy Cows

The study was carried out on 120 crossbred Holstein × Shahiwal dairy cows for a period of 150 days to quantify the influence of dietary energy and protein intake on yield and composition of milk. Total 12 dairy farms having similar housing systems and holding at least 20 dairy cows in between mid to late lactation were selected for study purposes. The farms were located in the peri-urban and ur...

Evaluation of different dietary protein and energy levels on growth performance and body composition of narrow clawed crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus)

Evaluation of different dietary protein and energy levels on growth performance and body composition of narrow clawed crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus)

Body size, body composition, and metabolic profile explain higher energy expenditure in overweight children.

Lower relative rates of energy expenditure (EE), increased energetic efficiency, and altered fuel utilization purportedly associated with obesity have not been demonstrated indisputably in overweight children. We hypothesized that differences in energy metabolism between nonoverweight and overweight children are attributable to differences in body size and composition, circulating thyroid hormo...
