Total and regional body composition and energy expenditure in multiple symmetric lipomatosis
A Coin, G Sergi, G Enzi, L Busetto, S Pigozzo, L Lupoli… - Clinical Nutrition, 2005 - Elsevier
Aims: The aim of the present study was to investigate possible alterations in body
composition and resting energy expenditure (REE) in type 1 multiple symmetric lipomatosis
(MSL). Subjects and methods: Thirteen men aged from 40 to 78 years affected by type I MSL
were compared with 13 healthy control subjects. Fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM)
were determined by DEXA using both standard analysis and specifically for the lipomatous
region. REE was measured by indirect calorimetry. Results: FM was higher in MSL subjects …
