Skeletal muscle metabolism is a major determinant of resting energy expenditure.

Abstract: Energy expenditure varies among people, independent of body size and composition, and persons with a "low" metabolic rate seem to be at higher risk of gaining weight. To assess the importance of skeletal muscle metabolism as a determinant of metabolic rate, 24-h energy expenditure, basal metabolic rate (BMR), and sleeping metabolic rate (SMR) were measured by indirect calorimetry in 14 subjects (7 males, 7 females; 30±6 yr Jmean±SDJ 79.1±173 kg; 22±7% body fat), and compared to forearm oxygen uptake. Values of… Show more

“…An increase in these glycolytic type 2b fibers was found to occur over the lifespan, suggesting a gene -environment interaction on fiber type composition in human skeletal muscle. 20 In addition, differences in muscle biochemistry account for part of the inter-individual variability in muscle oxygen uptake and whole-body energy metabolism, 21 suggesting that skeletal muscle energetics may contribute to the variability of metabolic rate observed in people. Children inherit their muscle fiber typing from their parents.…”

“…The capacity to reduce coupling efficiency selectively in muscle or fat may allow a chemical uncoupler to be used in obesity treatment [11]. SKM, as a large organ and a major site of facultative thermogenesis, contributes significantly to resting EE (REE) [35]. WAT is a major site of energy storage and does not directly contribute a large amount to REE, but has the capacity to indirectly influence whole-body metabolic efficiency via a range of secreted regulatory factors (adipokines) [8,36,37].…”

“…Em particular, a massa corporal magra, composta por músculos, vísceras, ossos e água, constitui o compartimento corporal com maior atividade metabólica e, por essa razão, é considerada um importante determinante do gasto energético, explicando 73% do GER e 80% do gasto ener-gético de total 17,18 . Já a gordura corporal, influencia o gasto energético em menor magnitude que a massa magra 14 .…”
