Resting energy expenditure (REE) and thermic effect of food (TEF). REE and TEF during saline infusion (open circles) and during propranolol (closed circles) before (time = −15 min) and for 5‐h after mixed meal (kcal/24 h). REE was increased following the meal (A) and the effect was not altered by propranolol (A–C). TEF was increased following the meal (D) and the response was lower with propranolol when compared to control when assessed as an absolute change (E); however, responses were variable and when data were expressed relative to control, there was no observable effect of propranolol (F). MSNA, muscle sympathetic nerve activity.
