In the present study, energy expenditure (EE) and rates of whole-body protein, glucose, and lipid metabolism were assessed in 8 African American sickle cell disease (SCD) patients and in 6 healthy African American control subjects during the infusion of amino acids, glucose, and lipid. Whole-body protein, glucose, and lipid kinetics were estimated by using L-[1-(13)C]leucine, D-[6,6-(2)H2]glucose, and...
