          Abstract

          In normal-weight subjects, resting energy expenditure (REE) can be accurately calculated from organ and tissue masses applying constant organ-specific metabolic rates. This approach allows a precise correction for between-subjects variation in REE, explained by body composition. Since a decrease in organ metabolic rate with increasing organ mass has been deduced from interspecies comparison including human studies, the validity of the organ- and tissue-specific REE calculation remains to be proved over a wider range of fat-free mass (FFM).
