Resting energy expenditure, pulmonary inflammation, and genotype in the early course of cystic fibrosis.

Abstract excerpt

To further investigate the early course of cystic fibrosis (CF), specifically to examine factors contributing to energy imbalance, we examined resting energy expenditure (REE) (by indirect calorimetry) per unit body weight and metabolically active body cell mass (by total body potassium), in relation to CF genotype (by genomic DNA analysis), CF pancreatic phenotype, and markers of pulmonary inflammation (from...
