Fat metabolism in elderly patients with severe hypothermia.
Elderly patients with accidental hypothermia (core temperatures 25.0-35.5 degrees C) have been studied to determine the effect of low temperature on energy metabolism. The respiratory exchange ratios were low (median 0.75). Concentrations of plasma glycerol, non-esterified fatty acids and ketone bod...
