Post Prandial Thermogenesis (PPT) is defined as the net increase in energy expenditure following the ingestion of a meal whereas diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) indicates the overall influence of nutrients on energy expenditure. This paper reviews available data on PPT under specific clinical and dietetic conditions, e.g. the findings on PPT from pregnant and ovariectomized women, for elderly people, or the effects after MCT or LCT supplemented meals. PPT can be considered a suitable method to evaluate possible abnormalities of regulatory thermogenesis under certain clinical conditions and for the study of the acute effects of dietary components on energy expenditure.

Abstract
Post Prandial Thermogenesis (PPT) is defined as the net increase in energy expenditure following the ingestion of a meal whereas diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) indicates the overall influence of nutrients on energy expenditure. This paper reviews available data on PPT under specific clinical and dietetic conditions, e.g. the findings on PPT from pregnant and ovariectomized women, for elderly people, or the effects after MCT or LCT supplemented meals. PPT can be considered a suitable method to evaluate possible abnormalities of regulatory thermogenesis under certain clinical conditions and for the study of the acute effects of dietary components on energy expenditure.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
