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

Obesity is caused by a prolonged positive energy balance,. Whether reduced energy
expenditure stemming from reduced activity levels contributes is debated,. Here we show …

Current obesity prevention strategies recommend increasing daily physical activity,
assuming that increased activity will lead to corresponding increases in total energy …

Energy homeostasis is critical for the survival of species. Therefore, multiple and complex
mechanisms have evolved to regulate energy intake and expenditure to maintain body …

According to the adipostat hypothesis for body-weight control, alterations in body weight
should always be compensated by adequate alterations in food intake and thermogenesis …

The decrease in energy expenditure that occurs during weight loss is a process that
attenuates over time the impact of a restrictive diet on energy balance up to a point beyond …

Metabolic adaptation to weight changes relates to body weight control, obesity and
malnutrition. Adaptive thermogenesis (AT) refers to changes in resting and non-resting …

An imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure is the primary etiology for
excess weight gain. Increased energy expenditure via exercise and energy restriction via …

The pathogenesis of human obesity is the result of dysregulation of the reciprocal
relationship between food intake and energy expenditure (EE), which influences daily …

One of the fundamental challenges in obesity research is to identify subjects prone to weight
gain so that obesity and its comorbidities can be promptly prevented or treated. The …
