... in the postabsorptive state; (B) 4 h of rest in the postprandial state, and (C) 4 h postexercise in the postprandial state. At 20 min postexercise metabolic rate had increased 22% over RMR; however, by 40 min postexercise it had returned to the preexercise level. Following both conditions B and C oxygen consumption (VO...

...Susan.B. Roberts; W.A. Coward The oxygen consumption rates of virgin and lactating rats fed ad libitum were measured at temperatures ranging from 1 to 28 °C. The oxygen consumption rates of the virgin animals decreased progressively with increasing ambient temperature, but those of the lactating...

...J.R. Bradley; I.A. Macdonald The influences of fasting and of perfusate glucose concentration on the effect of fatty acid (oleic) on the oxygen consumption of the rat perfused liver were studied. Fasting had no effect on basal hepatic oxygen consumption or on hepatic fatty acid uptake...

...I.A. Macdonald; M.J. Stock Oxygen consumption was monitored in fed and fasted, lean and obese mice of the ob/ob strain before and after subcutaneous injections of norepinephrine (NE). The increase in oxygen consumption after NE was of a similar magnitude in both lean and obese fed mice...

... methionine showed that dietary restriction led to an increase in the radioactivity of the liver and a decrease of that of the muscles indicating maintenance of liver protein at the expense of muscle protein. Resting oxygen consumption decreased by 34% after 20 days of dietary restriction and this would...

... in the literature on the effect of alcohol on oxygen consumption in man have been resolved by taking into account the influence of food. Whisky (200 kcal) has no effect on fasting metabolic rate in man but when taken with a meal it produces a 22-percent increase in oxygen consumption, which is significantly greater...

... is not a limiting factor in RSO digestion. The absorbed erucic acid is almost totally metabolized. Rats fed a RSO-containing diet utilize the digested calories less efficiently than animals offered an SSO diet. Moreover, their oxygen consumption and water-vapour release are higher. It is assumed that the lower...
