| Popis: | It has been suggested that resting energy expenditure may be raised in chronic fatigue syndrome due to an upregulation of transmembrane ion transport. We measured resting energy expenditure by indirect calorimetry in 11 women with chronic fatigue and in 11 healthy women. Total body potassium, by whole body counting, and total body water, extracellular water and intracellular water, by a bioelectrical impedance method, were also measured.When individual resting energy expenditure was predicted on the basis of total body potassium values for the chronic fatigue group, 5 out of 11 of these subjects had resting energy expenditure above the upper limit of normal as defined by the control group data. This is consistent with the hypothesis that there is upregulation of the sodium-potassium pump in chronic fatigue syndrome. |
