Diet-induced thermogenesis measured over a whole day in obese and nonobese women

The overall thermogenic response to food intake measured over a whole day in 20 young
nondiabetic obese women (body fat mean±SEM: 38.6±0.7%), was compared with that
obtained in eight nonobese control women (body fat: 24.7±0.9%). The energy expenditure of
the subjects was continuously measured over 24 h with a respiration chamber, and the
spontaneous activity was assessed by a radar system. A new approach was used to obtain
the integrated thermogenic response to the three meals ingested over the day (from 8: 30 …
