| Abstract |
The basal energy expenditure of 10 Type 1 (insulin-dependent) C-peptide-negative diabetic patients (2042 +/- 62 kcal/24 h) was found to be significantly higher than the 1774 +/- 52 kcal/24 h predicted from their age, sex and body surface area (p less than 0.01). Intravenous insulin treatment significantly reduced energy expenditure to 1728 +/- 19 kcal/24h (p less than 0.01), which matched predicted values. The observed increase in metabolic rate in uncontrolled diabetic patients is associated with increased protein turnover, increased plasma glucagon, but no significant increase in cortisol, growth hormone or triiodothyronine concentrations in plasma. It may be accounted for by the energy cost of protein synthesis, or gluconeogenesis, or possibly increased sympathetic activity. This increased energy expenditure will contribute to the weight loss seen in Type 1 diabetic patients. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 12. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 April 2022.
All research outputs
#2,661,373
of 23,585,652 outputs
Outputs from Diabetologia
#1,343
of 5,131 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#342
of 9,017 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Diabetologia
#2
of 13 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,585,652 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 88th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,131 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 23.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 9,017 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 13 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
