  1. Values are expressed as means (M) ± standard deviations (SD). aREE calculated according to the Harris-Benedict equation.
  2. a = P<0.05, b = P<0.01, c = P<0.001, n.s. = not significant.
  3. 1 = AN high exercisers vs. controls, 2 = AN low exercisers vs. controls, 3 = AN low exercisers vs. AN high exercisers.
