We aimed to determine the day-to-day reproducibility of the energy expenditure (EE) and RER response to an OGTT, and whether a simulation-based postcalorimetric correction of metabolic cart readouts improves day-to-day reproducibility. Methods The EE was assessed (12 young adults, 6 women, 27 ± 2 years old) using an Omnical metabolic cart (Maastricht Instruments, Maastricht, The Netherlands) after an overnight fast (12 h) and after a 75-g oral glucose dose on 2 separate days (48 h). On both days, we assessed EE in 7 periods (one 30-min baseline and six 15-min postprandial). The ICcE was performed immediately after each recording period, and capillary glucose concentration (using a digital glucometer) was determined. Results We observed a high day-to-day reproducibility for the assessed RER (coefficients of variation [CV] < 4%) and EE (CVs < 9%) in the 7 different periods. In contrast, the RER and EE areas under the curve showed a low day-to-day reproducibility (CV = 22% and 56%, respectively). Contrary to our expectations, the postcalorimetric correction procedure did not influence the day-to-day reproducibility of the energy metabolism response, possibly because the Omnical’s accuracy was ~ 100%. Conclusion Our study demonstrates that the energy metabolism response to an OGTT is poorly reproducible (CVs > 20%) even using a very accurate metabolic cart. Furthermore, the postcalorimetric correction procedure did not influence the day-to-day reproducibility.}, organization = {Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness via Retos de la Sociedad grant DEP2016-79512-R}, organization = {European Commission}, organization = {Spanish Government FPU15/04059 FPU19/01609}, organization = {University of Granada Plan Propio de Investigacion 2016-Excellence actions: Unit of Excellence on Exercise and Health}, organization = {Junta de Andalucia, Consejeria de Conocimiento, Investigacion y Universidades via the ERDF SOMM17/6107/UGR}, organization = {Fundacion Alfonso Martin Escudero}, organization = {Universidad de Granada/CBUA}, publisher = {Springer}, keywords = {Indirect calorimetry}, keywords = {Reliability}, keywords = {Postprandial metabolism}, keywords = {Glucose tolerance}, keywords = {Metabolic cart}, title = {Reproducibility of the energy metabolism response to an oral glucose tolerance test: influence of a postcalorimetric correction procedure}, doi = {10.1007/s00394-022-02986-w}, author = {Alcántara Alcántara, Juan Manuel and Sánchez Delgado, Guillermo and Jurado Fasoli, Lucas and Ruiz Ruiz, Jonatan}, }
