How does chronic inflammation affect energy expenditure?

Chronic inflammation can increase energy expenditure in the body. This is because the immune system is constantly activated, leading to an increase in metabolic rate and the production of heat. As a result, individuals with chronic inflammation may have higher levels of energy expenditure compared to those without inflammation.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)


Why is energy expenditure important in chronic diseases?

Energy expenditure plays a crucial role in chronic diseases as it affects the overall energy balance in the body. If energy expenditure is increased due to chronic inflammation, it may result in weight loss and muscle wasting. On the other hand, if energy expenditure is decreased, it can contribute to weight gain and the development of metabolic disorders such as obesity and insulin resistance.
