Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine Trp64Arg beta(3)-adrenoceptor genotype-specific differences in the components of energy expenditure. HYPOTHESIS: We hypothesized that resting metabolic rate (RMR) and physical activity levels would be lower and that thermic effect of feeding (TEF) would be higher in those with the Arg64 allele. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES: RMR and TEF were measured by indirect calorimetry, physical...
