ABSTRACT. Background. To determine the extent and effects of increased metabolic demand represented by Pseudomonas colonization on body composition and resting energy expenditure in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). Methods: The study comprised 18 stable children with CF, of whom 10 (6 male/4 female) were colonized with Pseudomonas species and 8 (4 male/4 female) were not. The groups were of similar age range and genotype. Measured resting energy expenditure (REE) was performed by open circuit indirect calorimetry and compared with predicted REE calculated from standard equations. Body ...

Sources of energy for increased metabolic demand during metamorphosis of the abalone Haliotis rufescens (Mollusca).
