Weight fluctuation due to reducing diet, resting energy expenditure and body composition in obese patients
Body composition and energy expenditure in obese patients prior to and following biliopancreatic diversion
Body composition and energy expenditure in obese patients prior to and following biliopancreatic diversion for obesity.
Body composition and resting energy expenditure (REE) were assessed in 69 obese
patients prior to and 1 year following biliopancreatic diversion (BPD). Fat-free
mass (FFM) and body fat sizes were very similar to those of nonoperated subjects
closely matched for body weight and FFM size. In the BPD subjects, the REE data
were high, thus excluding a dilatation of non-energy-consuming extracellular
spaces and suggesting an increase in the ratio between the organs and the less
metabolically active muscle mass within the FFM
