A greater decrease in 24-hour energy expenditure (24hEE) during short-term fasting is indicative of a thrifty phenotype. As ghrelin and the growth hormone (GH) - insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) axis are implicated in the regulation of energy intake and metabolism, we investigated whether ghrelin, GH and IGF-1 concentrations mediate the fasting-induced decrease in 24hEE that characterizes thriftiness.

Abstract
A greater decrease in 24-hour energy expenditure (24hEE) during short-term fasting is indicative of a thrifty phenotype. As ghrelin and the growth hormone (GH) - insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) axis are implicated in the regulation of energy intake and metabolism, we investigated whether ghrelin, GH and IGF-1 concentrations mediate the fasting-induced decrease in 24hEE that characterizes thriftiness.File in questo prodotto:
