Metabolic adaptation
Serum acylcarnitines increase with caloric restriction alone but not with caloric restriction plus exercise despite similar weight loss.
Practitioners should note that caloric restriction alone may lead to different metabolic responses compared to caloric restriction combined with exercise.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Despite similar weight loss, serum ACs increase with CR alone but not CR+EX.
Why this rating
Based on the randomized controlled trial design.
