Abstract

Studies of experimental starvation that were carried out in healthy volunteers during the first half of this century often provide an invaluable source of 'untapped' data. The motivation and desire to gain a better insight into the regulation of body composition by re-analysing these data in the light of more 'modern' concepts of energy partitioning and thermogenesis become irresistible when similar studies can no longer be performed in humans, if only for ethical reasons.
