A scheme of energy balance in ACE−/− mice, where energy intake as food is normal, but the equilibrium between energy storage and utilization is in favor of the latter. The increases in whole-body energy expenditure (measured by indirect calorimetry) and hepatic fatty acid oxidation dissipate ingested calories, reducing energy storage in adipose tissue and lowering body fat mass.
