Although suction lipectomy and dermolipectomy are common surgical procedures, the body's response to localized removal of fat and the long-term efficacy of these procedures remain controversial. Seven women who underwent liposuction or abdominoplasty were studied prior to surgery and between one and two months postoperatively. All patients were weight-stable prior to surgery and the reported daily food intake and nutrient composition of the diet did not change. The following parameters were measured: resting oxygen uptake (VO2), glucose-induced increment in VO2, anthropometry, and site-specific fat cell size. Fat samples were taken by needle aspiration from abdominal and femoral regions. Resting energy expenditure and the response to glucose feeding were not significantly different postoperatively. Furthermore, site-specific fat cell size did not change, nor were there any significant differences in the sum of four skinfold thicknesses. These results suggest that energy balance was not altered as a result of localized fat removal in previously weight-stable women. Thus, short-term follow-up suggests that surgical fat removal does not result in a compensatory change in metabolic efficiency or fat cell size and distribution in these weight-stable women. Therefore, this technique may prove effective for body contouring in nonobese women.

“…6 This stability is also observed in experimental settings in which the body weight of animals that were either overfed or starved returned to that of a control group once food intake returned to normal. 2,[7][8][9][10][11] Finally, when animals are fed nutrients in varying dilutions, they adjust their intake to maintain constancy of the number…”

“…The complicated relationships between food intake and cachexia, widely investigated in animals bearing transplanted tumors [4][5][6], involve many physiological mechanisms such as hunger and satiety control [7], glucostatic [8] and lipostatic [1,4,9] regulation, nitrogen balance [10] and hormonal equilibria [11,12].…”

Walker Carcinoma 256: A Model for Studies on Tumor-Induced Anorexia and Cachexia

et al. 1982

Data on anorexia and cachexia induced by Walker carcinoma 256 in Sprague-Dawley rats were analyzed in order to standardize an experimental model using a statistical (nondeterministical) procedure for assessing the efficacy of potential orexigenic agents. This model was characterized by a mean survival time of 14 ± 1 days and by food intake and body weight loss starting from day 6 after tumor implantation. The complex course of cachexia was characterized by reduction in the weight of gastrocnemius muscle and epididymal adipose tissue, taken as representative sites of loss of proteins and lipids.
