Publication Open Access Reproducibility of the energy metabolism response to an oral glucose tolerance test: influence of a postcalorimetric correction procedure(Springer, 2022) Alcántara Alcántara, Juan Manuel; Sánchez Delgado, Guillermo; Jurado Fasoli, Lucas; Galgani, José E.; Labayen Goñi, Idoia; Ruiz, Jonatan R.; Institute on Innovation and Sustainable Development in Food Chain - ISFOODPurpose Metabolic fexibility (MetF), which is a surrogate of metabolic health, can be assessed by the change in the respiratory exchange ratio (RER) in response to an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). We aimed to determine the day-to-day reproducibility of the energy expenditure (EE) and RER response to an OGTT, and whether a simulation-based postcalorimetric correction of metabolic cart readouts improves day-to-day reproducibility. Methods The EE was assessed (12 young adults, 6 women, 27±2 years old) using an Omnical metabolic cart (Maastricht Instruments, Maastricht, The Netherlands) after an overnight fast (12 h) and after a 75-g oral glucose dose on 2 separate days (48 h). On both days, we assessed EE in 7 periods (one 30-min baseline and six 15-min postprandial). The ICcE was performed immediately after each recording period, and capillary glucose concentration (using a digital glucometer) was determined. Results We observed a high day-to-day reproducibility for the assessed RER (coefcients of variation [CV]<4%) and EE (CVs<9%) in the 7 diferent periods. In contrast, the RER and EE areas under the curve showed a low day-to-day reproducibility (CV=22% and 56%, respectively). Contrary to our expectations, the postcalorimetric correction procedure did not infuence the day-to-day reproducibility of the energy metabolism response, possibly because the Omnical’s accuracy was~100%. Conclusion Our study demonstrates that the energy metabolism response to an OGTT is poorly reproducible (CVs>20%) even using a very accurate metabolic cart. Furthermore, the postcalorimetric correction procedure did not infuence the day-to-day reproducibility. Trial registration NCT04320433; March 25, 2020.Publication Open Access Deciphering the constrained total energy expenditure model in humans by associating accelerometer-measured physical activity from wrist and hip(Nature Research, 2021) Fernández-Verdejo, Rodrigo; Alcántara Alcántara, Juan Manuel; Galgani, José E.; Acosta, Francisco M.; Migueles, Jairo H.; Amaro Gahete, Francisco J.; Labayen Goñi, Idoia; Ortega, Francisco B.; Ruiz, Jonatan R.; Osasun Zientziak; Institute on Innovation and Sustainable Development in Food Chain - ISFOOD; Ciencias de la SaludThe constrained total energy expenditure (TEE) model posits that progressive increases in physical activity (PA) lead to increases in TEE; but after certain PA threshold, TEE plateaus. Then, a compensatory reduction in the expenditure of non-essential activities constrains the TEE. We hypothesized that high PA levels as locomotion associate with a compensatory attenuation in arm movements. We included 209 adults (64% females, mean [SD] age 32.1 [15.0] years) and 105 children (40% females, age 10.0 [1.1] years). Subjects wore, simultaneously, one accelerometer in the non-dominant wrist and another in the hip for ≥ 4 days. We analyzed the association between wrist-measured (arm movements plus locomotion) and hip-measured PA (locomotion). We also analyzed how the capacity to dissociate arm movements from locomotion influences total PA. In adults, the association between wrist-measured and hip-measured PA was better described by a quadratic than a linear model (Quadratic-R2 = 0.54 vs. Linear-R2 = 0.52; P = 0.003). Above the 80th percentile of hip-measured PA, wrist-measured PA plateaued. In children, there was no evidence that a quadratic model fitted the association between wrist-measured and hip-measured PA better than a linear model (R2 = 0.58 in both models, P = 0.25). In adults and children, those with the highest capacity to dissociate arm movements from locomotion—i.e. higher arm movements for a given locomotion—reached the highest total PA. We conclude that, in adults, elevated locomotion associates with a compensatory reduction in arm movements (probably non-essential fidgeting) that partially explains the constrained TEE model. Subjects with the lowest arm compensation reach the highest total PA.
