Changes in energy metabolism in response to 48 h of overfeeding and fasting in Caucasians and Pima Indians
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Differences in the metabolic response to overfeeding and starvation may confer susceptibility or resistance to obesity in humans. To further examine this hypothesis, we assessed the changes in 24 h energy metabolism in response to short-term overfeeding and fasting in Caucasians (C) and Pima Indians (I), a population with a very high propensity for obesity.
