Metabolic adaptation
Resting metabolic rate is not reduced in hypocretin-deficient narcoleptic men (1766 +/- 227 kcal/24h).
Narcoleptic patients do not have a lower resting metabolic rate, which may influence obesity considerations.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Resting metabolic rate (controls: 1767 +/- 226 kcal/24 h; patients: 1766 +/- 227 kcal/24h; p = 0.99).
Why this rating
Based on the study design with direct measurements and statistical analysis.
Source
