Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to investigate the energy metabolism of patients with cancer using indirect calorimetry. Energy expenditure was increased in patients with advanced stage disease, and there were positive correlations between measured resting energy expenditure/body weight and interleukin-6 levels. However, there are no significant relationships between energy expenditure and TNF-α levels. There were significant relationships between body mass index and plasma leptin or acylated ghrelin levels. However, the level of appetite controlling hormones did not affect dietary intake. In addition, there was a negative correlation between plasma interleukin-6 levels and dietary intake, suggesting that interleukin-6 plays a role in reducing dietary intake. These results indicate that energy expenditure changes significantly with cancer stage. Thus, nutritional management that considers the changes in energy metabolism is important in patients with cancer.
