Background Obesity stems from a prolonged imbalance between the levels of energy intake
and expenditure, with the resultant surplus being stored as body lipids. Our understanding …

We present a consolidated view of the complexity and challenges of designing studies for
measurement of energy metabolism in mouse models, including a practical guide to the …

Total daily energy expenditure (“total expenditure”) reflects daily energy needs and is a
critical variable in human health and physiology, but its trajectory over the life course is poorly …

Understanding the impacts of activity on energy balance is crucial. Increasing levels of activity
may bring diminishing returns in energy expenditure because of compensatory responses …

The doubly labeled water (DLW) method measures total energy expenditure (TEE) in free-living
subjects. Several equations are used to convert isotopic data into TEE. Using the …

The impact of bilingual exposure on language learning has not been systematically studied
in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. This study compared the social abilities and …

The purpose of this study was to compare a group of recently diagnosed bilingual-exposed
children with autism (n=20) aged 24–52 months with a matched group of monolingual-…

The relation between gut microbiota and the host has been suggested to benefit metabolic
homeostasis. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) and beige adipocytes facilitate thermogenesis to …

Background: Resistance exercise increases muscle mass and function in older adults, but
responses are attenuated compared with younger people. Data suggest that long-chain n–3 …

Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is localized on the inner mitochondrial membrane and generates
heat by uncoupling ATP synthesis from proton transit across the inner membrane. UCP1 …
