The relationship between resting energy expenditure and XXXX in benign and @entity5 .

@entity1 @entity353 @entity5 @entity1149 @entity14 @entity221
The relationship between @entity5 , @entity353 , and resting energy expenditure (REE) has been investigated in 136 @entity1 using indirect calorimetry. Ninety-one @entity1 had gastric, colorectal, or @entity1149 , seven @entity1 had other @entity5 , and 38 @entity1 had @entity221 . Four groups were studied: weight stable @entity5 @entity1 (CWS: N = 56), weight losing @entity5 @entity1 (CWL: N = 42), weight stable @entity1 with @entity221 (NCWS: N = 22), and weight losing @entity1 with @entity221 (NCWL: N = 16). In each group REE correlated significantly with body weight, metabolic body size, and lean body mass (LBM: estimated from total body water measurements). The closest correlation was between REE and lean body mass, with the slope of the CWL regression line differing significantly from that of the CWS (p less than 0.05) and NCWS (p less than 0.02) groups. However, there was no difference in REE expressed as kcal/kg LBM/d between the groups. The slopes of the regressions between REE and LBM were almost identical when all @entity5 @entity1 were compared with all @entity1 with @entity221 . However, when all weight stable @entity1 were compared with all weight losing @entity1 , there was a highly significant difference between the slopes of the regressions (p less than 0.005). This indicates that the weight losing state rather than the presence or absence of @entity5 is responsible for an alteration in the relationship between REE and LBM. There were no differences in REE between the different @entity5 types. It is concluded that REE is not elevated in @entity1 with @entity14 . Elevation of REE contributes very little to the etiology of @entity5 .
