[HTML][HTML] Effects of changes in body weight on carbohydrate metabolism, catecholamine excretion, and thyroid function
M Rosenbaum, J Hirsch, E Murphy, RL Leibel - The American journal of …, 2000 - Elsevier
Background: Weight gain and loss increases and decreases energy expenditure,
respectively, out of proportion to changes in metabolic mass. Objective: We hypothesized
that changes in energy expenditure associated with weight gain or loss were due in part to
changes in catecholamine release, thyroid hormones, carbohydrate utilization, or a
combination thereof. Methods: Urinary catecholamine excretion, serum thyroid hormone
concentrations, and results of 3-h oral-glucose-tolerance tests were examined in obese and …
