Mass total energy expenditure

The use of direct calorimetry is not a convenient technique, since it requires a specially constructed room and the confinement of human subjects for a day or longer in the room. The doubly labeled water technique offers a convenient alternative, providing that one has a machine to perform isotope ratio mass spectrometry. The doubly labeled water technique is used to measure the rate of total CO2 production in the body. This number alone is not sufficient to allow one to calculate the total energy expenditure. But the value for COj production (moles COi/day), along with the RQ, allows one to calculate the oxygen consumption using the following formula ... 

AG° = 593 kJ/mol. How many times must the athlete lift the 50 kg mass to provide sufficient Gibbs energy to produce one soft drink can ( 21 g). Note This is the energy for the electrolysis. It is estimated that the total energy expenditure required to produce aluminum from the ore is about three times this amount. 

MRS). TCHAD-deficient patients exhibited a trend toward more lipid deposition in the extra-myocellular space but no difference in intramyo-cellular lipid deposition of the soleus muscle compared to control subjects (Fig. 23.1c, e). The lean mass compartment of the body is metaboli-cally active tissue and the most tightly associated with total energy expenditure therefore, patients with lower lean body mass may have less meta-bolicaUy active tissue and lower energy needs than the normal population. 

Mytilus edulis larvae [33]. The trend was similar for M. edulis larvae regarding the increased anoxia tolerance in later developmental forms, as was the recovery profiles for CR ratios. However, there was a significant anaerobic component in the total energy expenditure of larvae under normoxic conditions (Table 1), which the authors suggested was due to periods of valve closure and quiescence under normoxia that diminished under moderate hypoxia. In addition to calorimetric data on M edulis larvae, measurements are also available for gametes [98]. These data showed that mass-specific heat dissipation increased five-fold as development proceeded from the unfertilized egg to the D-stage (3-day) larva, but then declined thereafter.
