Metabolic alterations in the critically ill have been studied for more than a century, but the heterogeneity of the critically ill patient population, the varying duration and severity of the acute phase of illness, and the many confounding factors have hindered progress in the field. These factors may explain why management of metabolic alteration...

•We examine the effect of high fat feeding and 20-hydroxyecdysone on energy intake and energy expenditure in mice.•Fecal lipid excretion was evaluated in 20-hydroxyecdysone treated mice.•20-Hydroxyecdysone intake modifies the glucose oxidation in vivo.•Both increased energy expenditure and decreased lipid absorption are proposed for an anti-obesity...

We evaluated the biological basis of reduced fat gain by oleoylethanolamide (OEA) in high-fat-fed mice and sought to determine how degradation of OEA affected its efficiency by comparing its effects to those of KDS-5104, a nonhydrolyzable lipid OEA analog. Mice were given OEA or KDS-5104 by the oral route (100 mg/kg body weight). Sixty-eight variab...

Purpose: Adequate energy provision and nitrogen losses prevention of critically ill patients are essentials for treatment and recovery. The aims of this study were to evaluate energy expenditure (EE) and nitrogen balance (NB) of critically ill patients, to classify adequacy of energy intake (El), and to verify adequacy of El capacity to reverse the...
