Metabolic response to fasting predicts weight gain during low-protein overfeeding in lean men: further evidence for spendthrift and thrifty metabolic phenotypes

摘要

Greater increase in 24-h energy expenditure (24EE) during overfeeding and smaller decrease in 24EE during fasting (“spendthrift” metabolic phenotype) are associated with more weight loss during sustained caloric restriction in overweight subjects.
