Resting metabolic rate and diet-induced thermogenesis : studies in humans on individual differences and on the impact of...
This thesis contains studies on resting metabolic rate (RMR) and diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) of humans using indirect calorimetry (ventilated hood system) to assess energy expenditure. A literature survey of aspects of human energy exchange and of problems of energy balance is included. At first, methodological studies on the measurement of RM...
Seasonal changes in energy balance of rural Beninese women
This thesis reports on human energy balance in relation to seasonal changes in food availability of rural populations in developing countries.Body weight measurements were carried out every two weeks among Beninese subsistence farmers who live in two different climatological zones (one and two rainy seasons). Significant seasonal weight changes occ...
Het streefgewicht van ons lichaam: stand van zaken met betrekking tot de theorie van Cabanac.
Een kritisch overzicht van de onderzoeken die zijn uitgevoerd om de setpoint theorie van Cabanac te toetsen. Deze gaat er vanuit dat iedereen een bepaald streefgewicht heeft dat het lichaam probeert te handhaven. Uit de resultaten van experimenten die de setpoint theorie hebben getoetst blijkt dat deze theorie niet geheel wordt bevestigd
Changes in body composition and fat distribution in response to weight loss and weight regain
This thesis describes the effects of weight loss and subsequent weight regain on body composition, fat distribution and resting energy expenditure in moderately obese men and moderately obese premenopausal women. Participants were subjected to a controlled 4.2 MJ/day energy deficit diet for 13 weeks, and re-examined more than one year after weight ...
Visceral fat and weight loss in obese subjects : relationship to serum lipids, energy expenditure and sex hormones
This thesis describes the relationships between visceral fat accumulation and serum lipids, energy expenditure, and sex hormone levels in healthy obese men and premenopausal women undergoing weight loss therapy. The subjects, aged 27-51 years, with an initial body mass index of 28-38 kg/m 2, received a controlled diet for 13 weeks providing a 4.2 M...
Energy metabolism during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and lactation in well nourished Indian women
The measured basal metabolic rates (BMR) of present day Indian women were found to be comparable to published BMRs, measured in Indian women over 50 years ago, but 7 percent lower than present European/American women. This can possibly be due to differences in body composition or climate. Schofield's equation, used to predict the BMR of women in th...
A comparison of the energy requirements for work in donkeys, ponies and cattle.
Body composition and energy metabolism in elderly people
This thesis describes several studies related to the three components of energy balance in elderly people: body composition, energy expenditure, and energy intake.Body composition. The applicability of the body mass index, skinfold thickness method, and multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance was tested in elderly men and women. The first two metho...
G96-1292 Winter Care for Horses
This NebGuide discusses energy requirements, feeding alterations, water requirements, hair and hoof implications, and shelter needs for horses during winter. As the weather turns cold, many horses are ridden less and less. It is easy to become relaxed in a horse's daily care since they are not being used as often. However, horses still require much...
