Evolution of Resting Energy Expenditure, Respiratory Quotient, and Adiposity in Infants Recovering from Corrective Surgery of Major Congenital Gastrointestinal Tract Anomalies: A Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: This cohort study describes the evolution of resting energy expenditure (REE), respiratory quotient (RQ), and adiposity in infants recovering from corrective surgery of major congenital gastrointestinal tract anomalies. Energy and macronutrient intakes were assessed. The REE and RQ were assessed by indirect calorimetry, and fat mass index (FMI) was assessed by air displacement plethysmography. Longitudinal variations over time are described. Explanatory models for REE, RQ, and adiposity were obtained by multiple linear regression analysis. Twenty-nine infants were included, 15 born preterm and 14 at term, with median gestational age of 35.3 and 38.1 weeks and birth weight of 2304 g and 2935 g, respectively. In preterm infants, median REE varied between 55.7 and 67.4 Kcal/kg/d and median RQ increased from 0.70 to 0.86-0.92. In term infants, median REE varied between 57.3 and 67.9 Kcal/kg/d and median RQ increased from 0.63 to 0.84-0.88. Weight gain velocity was slower in term than preterm infants. FMI, assessed in a subset of 15 infants, varied between a median of 1.7 and 1.8 kg/m2 at term age. This low adiposity may be related to poor energy balance, low fat intakes, and low RQ¸ that were frequently recorded in several follow-up periods.

Project description:Increased adiposity is associated with dysregulation of the endothelin system, both of which increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Preclinical data indicate that endothelin dysregulation also reduces resting energy expenditure (REE). The objective was to test the hypothesis that endothelin receptor antagonism will increase REE in people with obesity compared with healthy weight individuals. Using a double blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design, 32 participants [healthy weight (HW): n = 16, BMI: 21.3 ± 2.8 kg/m2, age: 26 ± 7 yr and overweight/obese (OB): n = 16, BMI: 33.5 ± 9.5 kg/m2, age: 31 ± 6 yr] were randomized to receive either 125 mg of bosentan (ETA/B antagonism) or placebo twice per day for 3 days. Breath-by-breath gas exchange data were collected and REE was assessed by indirect calorimetry. Venous blood samples were analyzed for concentrations of endothelin-1 (ET-1). Treatment with bosentan increased plasma ET-1 in both OB and HW groups. Within the OB group, the changes in absolute REE (PLA: -77.6 ± 127.6 vs. BOS: 72.2 ± 146.6 kcal/day; P = 0.046). The change in REE was not different following either treatment in the HW group. Overall, absolute plasma concentrations of ET-1 following treatment with bosentan were significantly associated with kcal/day of fat (r = 0.488, P = 0.005), percentage of fat utilization (r = 0.415, P = 0.020), and inversely associated with the percentage of carbohydrates (r = -0.419, P = 0.019), and respiratory exchange ratio (r = -0.407, P = 0.023). Taken together, these results suggest that modulation of the endothelin system may represent a novel therapeutic approach to increase both resting metabolism and caloric expenditure, and reduce CVD risk in people with increased adiposity.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Findings from our current translational investigation demonstrate that dual endothelin A/B receptor antagonism increases total REE in overweight/obese individuals. These results suggest that modulation of the endothelin system may represent a novel therapeutic target to increase both resting metabolism and caloric expenditure, enhance weight loss, and reduce CVD risk in seemingly healthy individuals with elevated adiposity.
