In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), malnutrition and limited physical activity are very common and contribute to disease prognosis, whereas a balance between caloric intake and exercise allows body weight stability and muscle mass preservation. The goal of this review is to analyze the implications of chronic hypoxia on three key elements involved in energy homeostasis and...
OBJECTIVE: In patients with human immunodeficiency virus, body weight (BW) loss, due mainly to loss of fat-free mass, is associated with progression of disease and mortality. Recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) may promote BW gain by restoring FFM.METHODS: We investigated the results of adding to highly active antiretroviral therapy of routine rhGH treatment in 34 patients with human immunodeficiency...
To better understand the long-term weight stability of postobese patients who underwent biliopancreatic diversion (BPD), we studied 24-h energy and nutrient balance in eight women at least 3 yr after surgery (PO) and compared the results to those obtained in eight normal never-obese control women (C), matched by age and weight. Body composition was measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA)...
