Nine prepubertal obese @entity1 ages 9 1/2 to 12 yr followed moderately restricted diets and moderate exercise routine for 31 wk. Foods were selected from the family's basic diet and the physical activities were tailored to the home environment. This dietary (approximate decrease of 600 kcal/day) and activity (approximate increase of 300 kcal/day) intervention program was sufficient to stop weight gain and normalize key metabolic indices for prediction of @entity731 , @entity101 , and @entity6 . Throughout the treatment period serum lipid responses included significantly lower (p less than 0.05) total @entity165 , low-density lipoprotein- @entity165 and @entity1674 . High-density lipoprotein- @entity165 was constant throughout the period. Responses in @entity1735 metabolism included significantly lower (p less than 0.05) fasting @entity2690 and @entity413 . @entity2690 and @entity413 levels were positively correlated with total caloric consumption and @entity2690 was also positively correlated with @entity969 consumption (p less than 0.05). Fasting @entity2690 / @entity413 ratios and glycosylated Hb decreased throughout the treatment period, but serum glucagon levels remained constant. In response to a @entity413 load, @entity2690 and @entity413 decreased significantly by wk 31 of treatment. A practical approach for normalizing metabolism in obese male @entity1 is presented.
