Male rhesus monkeys of various age groups representative of the species life span were fed ad libitum amounts (controls) or 30% less food than control monkeys of comparable age and body weight. Despite significantly lowered energy intake and body weight, the amount of energy lost in the feces, and fecal energy density (concentration) were not altered in diet-restricted (DR) monkeys, compared to age- and weight-matched controls. Absolute energy expenditure (EE; 24-hr) was consistently lower in DR monkeys, but this trend was not statistically significant. Expressed as a function of metabolic mass (body weight, metabolic body size, lean mass), 24-hr EE was not different in monkeys subjected to long-term DR, compared to controls. Calculations of net energy (intake-loss), as an index of energy balance, revealed that energy expenditure generally exceeded energy intake in all juvenile and adult group monkeys. However, this discrepancy was not statistically different from zero, suggesting that most animals were in energy balance. Also, there was no difference between control and DR animals with respect to energy balance. Diet restriction induced significant reductions in the absolute amount of lean body mass; however, percent (of total weight) lean and fat mass did not differ from controls.
