The purpose of this study was to observe the effects of high-carbohydrate (HC) diet, high-protein (HP) diet and high-fat (HF) diet with a normal diet (N) on diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) in healthy Korean women. The four isoenergetic test meals consisted as follows: HC (75$ \% $ energy from carbohydrate, 10$ \% $ from protein and 15$ \% $ from fat), HP (10$ \% $ energy from carbohydrate, 75$ \% $ from protein and 15$ \% $ from fat) HF (15$ \% $ energy from carbohydrate, 10$ \% $ from protein and 75$ \% $ from fat) diet and N (65$ \% $ energy from carbohydrate, 15$ \% $ from protein and 20$ \% $ from fat) diet. Fasting and postprandial thermogenesis were measured after each test meals in eight subjects by indirect calorimetry for 3 hours. Fasting and postprandial serum glucose, insulin and triacylglycerol contents were also measured for 3 hours. DIT were 10.4$\pm$3.2 for HC, 12.7$\pm$0.5 for HP, 6.9$\pm$2.8 for HF and 8.7$\pm$4.8 for N diet as a percentage of the energy load. DIT of HP was greater than HF significantly, but had no differences with HC and N Integrated areas under the curves ($ \delta- $-AUC) of plasma glucose and insulin were significantly higher for HC compared to HP, HF and N diets. $ \delta$-AUC of plasma triacylglycerol was significantly higher for HF compared to the other test meals. In conclusion, intake of protein rich meal stimulates postprandial energy expenditure, but has no relation between DIT and insulin response, body composition.

The purpose of this study was to observe the effects of fiber free control diet (CD), cellulose diet (CED) and pectin diet (PTD) on diet induced thermogenesis (DIT) in healthy Korean woman for 3 hours. The three test diets were as follows: CD (carbohydrate intake: 63.4% of energy, protein intake: 14.0% of energy and fat intake: 25.8% of energy), CED (carbohydrate intake: 62.5% of energy, protein intake: 14.0% of energy and fat intake: 26.1% of energy) and PTD (carbohydrate intake: 62.7% of energy, protein intake: 14.0% of energy and fat intake: 26.2 of energy). Groups were served 10 g of cellulose for CED and 10 g of pectin for PTD, respectively. DIT was measured at fasting state and at 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 min after consuming each diet. The mean age of all subjects was $22.3{\pm}1.9$ years. Body weight was $52.5{\pm}8.6$ kg and body mass index was $20.6{\pm}2.7kg/m^2$. Preprandial resting energy expenditure was $0.79{\pm}0.02kcal/min$ and postprandial DIT were $14.05{\pm}0.62%$ for CD, $9.33{\pm}0.62%$ for CED, $11.07{\pm}1.35%$ for PTD as a percentage of the energy load. DIT of CD was significantly higher than those of CED and PTD. There was no significant difference in postprandial change in body temperature after consuming each test diets and the sympathetic nervous system activity measured by heart rate was significantly higher in CD than CED and PTD (p<0.05). With this study, it can be concluded that CED and PTD have significantly lowered in DIT (p<0.05). We didn't show the correlation of the factors that relate in DIT; thus, further experiments on that matter should be followed.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of gender on the thermic effect of food and substrate oxidation rate during 5 hours after a mixed meal. Twenty healthy college students (10 males and 10 females) aged 20-26 years participated in this study. The energy contents of the experimental diets were 775 kcal and 627 kcal for males and females respectively, which were 30% of individual energy requirements and were composed of 65/15/20% as the proportion of carbohydrate/protein/fat. Resting and postprandial energy expenditure and substrate oxidation rates were measured with indirect calorimetry in the fasting state and every 30 min for 5 hours after meal consumption. Thermic effects of food expressed as ${\Delta}AUC$ and TEF% were not significantly different between males and females. However, TEF% adjusted for body weight and fat-free mass in males (0.095% and 0.120%) were significantly lower than those in females (0.152% and 0.213%)(p < 0.05). The total amount of carbohydrate oxidized was significantly lower in males than that in females (58.6 vs. 86.6 mg/kcal energy intake/5 h, p < 0.05). In contrast, the total amount of fat oxidized was significantly higher in males than that in females after the meal (32.9 vs. 17.2 mg/kcal energy intake/5 h, p < 0.01). These results indicate that gender affects the thermic effects of food and the substrate oxidation rate after a meal. The results show that males use relatively less carbohydrate and more fat as an energy source after a meal than that of females.
