English term or phrase: and the balance is from fat
Reduction of body weight involves the loss of both protein and fat, in amounts determined to some degree by the rate of weight reduction. A drastic reduction in calories resulting in a high rate of weight loss can mimic the starvation response. Tissue response to starvation is one of adaptation to an anticipated period of deprivation. The classic starvation studies done by Keys (1950) found that during the first 10 days of a fast and after use of glycogen stores, approximately 8% to 12% of the energy expenditure is from protein and the balance is from fat. As starvation progresses, up to 97% of energy expenditure is from stored TG. Metabolic aberrations during starvation include bradycardia, hypotension, dry skin and hair, easy fatigue, constipation, nervous system abnormalities, depression, and even death.
