Postprandial thermogenesis and respiratory quotient in response to galactose: comparison with glucose and fructose in healthy young adults
Circumstantial evidence suggests that substitution of glucose or sucrose by the low-glycaemic index sugar galactose in the diet may lead to greater thermogenesis and/or fat oxidation. Using ventilated hood indirect calorimetry, we investigated, in twelve overnight-fasted adults, the resting energy e...
