Energy balance

TEF after ingested and tube-delivered meals results in similar changes in respiratory quotient.

Similar respiratory responses to both meal types suggest that metabolic processes are consistent regardless of meal delivery method.

StrongSupportsmedium confidence
The two types of meals also resulted in similar changes in respiratory quotient.
