Sustained calorie restriction (CR) promises to extend the lifespan. The effect of CR on changes in body mass across tissues and organs is unclear.
We used whole-body MRI to evaluate the effect of 2 y of CR on changes in body composition.
In an ancillary study of the Comprehensive Assessment of Long-term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy (CALERIE) trial, 43 healthy adults [25-50 y; BMI (kg/m2): 22-28] randomly assigned to 25% CR (n = 28) or ad libitum (AL) eating (n = 15) underwent whole-body MRI at baseline and month 24 to measure adipose tissue in subcutaneous, visceral, and intermuscular depots (SAT, VAT, and IMAT, respectively); skeletal muscle; and organs including brain, liver, spleen, and kidneys but not heart.
The CR group lost more adipose tissue and lean tissue than controls (P < 0.05). In the CR group, at baseline, total tissue volume comprised 32.1%, 1.9%, and 1.0% of SAT, VAT, and IMAT, respectively. The loss of total tissue volume over 24 mo comprised 68.4%, 7.4%, and 2.2% of SAT, VAT, and IMAT, respectively, demonstrating preferential loss of fat vs. lean tissue. Although there is more muscle loss in CR than AL (P < 0.05), the loss of muscle over 24 mo in the CR group comprised only 17.2% of the loss of total tissue volume. Changes in organ volumes were not different between CR and AL. The degree of CR (% decrease in energy intake vs. baseline) significantly (P < 0.05) affected changes in VAT, IMAT, muscle, and liver volume (standardized regression coefficient ± standard error of estimates: 0.43 ± 0.15 L, 0.40 ± 0.19 L, 0.55 ± 0.17 L, and 0.45 ± 0.18 L, respectively).
Twenty-four months of CR (intended, 25%; actual, 13.7%) in young individuals without obesity had effects on body composition, including a preferential loss of adipose tissue, especially VAT, over the loss of muscle and organ tissue. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT02695511.
持续的热量限制(CR)有望延长寿命。CR 对组织和器官体质量变化的影响尚不清楚。
我们使用全身 MRI 评估 2 年 CR 对身体成分变化的影响。
在能量摄入减少的综合评估的辅助研究(CALERIE)试验中,43 名健康成年人[25-50 岁;BMI(kg/m2):22-28]被随机分配到 25%CR(n=28)或随意进食(AL)组(n=15),在基线和第 24 个月进行全身 MRI 测量皮下、内脏和肌肉间脂肪组织(SAT、VAT 和 IMAT);骨骼肌;以及包括脑、肝、脾和肾在内的器官,但不包括心脏。
CR 组比对照组丢失更多的脂肪组织和瘦组织(P<0.05)。在 CR 组中,基线时,总组织体积分别占 SAT、VAT 和 IMAT 的 32.1%、1.9%和 1.0%。24 个月的总组织体积丢失包括 SAT、VAT 和 IMAT 的 68.4%、7.4%和 2.2%,表明脂肪组织比瘦组织优先丢失。尽管 CR 组的肌肉丢失量比 AL 组多(P<0.05),但 CR 组 24 个月的肌肉丢失量仅占总组织体积丢失的 17.2%。CR 和 AL 之间器官体积的变化没有差异。CR 的程度(与基线相比能量摄入的降低百分比)显著影响 VAT、IMAT、肌肉和肝脏体积的变化(标准化回归系数±估计标准误差:0.43±0.15 L、0.40±0.19 L、0.55±0.17 L 和 0.45±0.18 L)。
在没有肥胖的年轻个体中,24 个月的 CR(预期 25%;实际 13.7%)对身体成分有影响,包括脂肪组织,尤其是 VAT 的优先丢失,超过肌肉和器官组织的丢失。这项试验在 www.clinicaltrials.gov 注册,编号为 NCT02695511。
