Abstract: Obesity is a worldwide health problem with an increasing incidence over the last decades. Treatments include a reduction of energy intake and an increase in energy expenditure, which require a precise knowledge about the daily energy expenditure and its components. Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is with 60 - 80% the biggest component of daily energy expenditure and therefore of special interest. RMR is characterized by a high inter-individual variation. Variables taken into consideration when predicting RMR are sex, age, race, fat mass and fat free mass (FFM). However, even after adjusting RMR for these influencing variables, a residual variation of approximately 30% remains unexplained. In the present work the impact of liver metabolism, gut microbiota composition and the respiratory capacity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) on RMR variation is analyzed.
