Summary: | Context:
Patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1a (PHP-1a) develop early-onset obesity. The abnormality in energy expenditure and/or energy intake responsible for this weight gain is unknown.
Objective:
The aim of this study was to evaluate energy expenditure in children with PHP-1a compared with obese controls.
Patients:
We studied 6 obese females with PHP-1a and 17 obese female controls. Patients were recruited from a single academic center.
Measurements:
Resting energy expenditure (REE) and thermogenic effect of a high fat meal were measured using whole room indirect calorimetry. Body composition was assessed using whole body dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. Fasting glucose, insulin, and hemoglobin A1C were measured.
Results:
Children with PHP-1a had decreased REE compared with obese controls (
