Narrative review outlines sex-specific physiological responses to energy deficiency and excess in humans, highlighting distinct metabolic coping mechanisms.

Key Points

To examine how biological sexes differ in their physiological responses to nutritional stress, focusing specifically on deficiencies and excesses in total energy intake.
Conceptual synthesis evaluating physiological definitions of nutritional stress arising from insufficient intake or unexcreted metabolic excess.
Theoretical framework assessing sex-dependent metabolic handling and adaptation during periods of total energy imbalance.
Nutritional stress develops when nutrient intake fails to meet physiological requirements or when excessive intestinal absorption surpasses the body's metabolic and excretory capacity.
Biological sex significantly influences metabolic adaptations, altering physiological resilience and vulnerability to both caloric restriction and energy overload.
