A dysregulation between energy intake (EI) and energy expenditure (EE), the two
components of the energy balance equation, is one of the mechanisms responsible for the …

Conservation of the energy equilibrium can be considered a dynamic process and variations
of one component (energy intake or energy expenditure) cause biological and/or behavioral …

The basis of heat generated by the human body has been a source of speculation and
research for more than 2,000 years. Basal heat production, now usually referred to as …
