2. Resting metabolic rate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resting_metabolic_rate

   In the early 1970s, computer technology enabled on-site data processing, some real-time analysis, and even graphical displays of metabolic variables, such as O 2, CO 2, and air-flow, thereby encouraging academic institutions to test accuracy and precision in new ways.

3. Harris–Benedict equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harris–Benedict_equation

   The Harris–Benedict equation (also called the Harris-Benedict principle) is a method used to estimate an individual's basal metabolic rate (BMR).. The estimated BMR value may be multiplied by a number that corresponds to the individual's activity level; the resulting number is the approximate daily kilocalorie intake to maintain current body weight.

4. Weight management - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_management

   This energy at rest is used to pump blood throughout the body, maintain proper brain function, break down toxins, and ensure other bodily functions. Technically speaking, BMR is the energy the body expends during the following specific conditions: immediately after waking up, while in a resting state, and after fasting for 12–14 hours.

5. Kleiber's law - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleiber's_law

   Kleiber's plot comparing body size to metabolic rate for a variety of species. [1]Kleiber's law, named after Max Kleiber for his biology work in the early 1930s, states, after many observations that, for a vast number of animals, an animal's Basal Metabolic Rate scales to the 3 ⁄ 4 power of the animal's mass.

6. Basal metabolic rate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_metabolic_rate

   Support for this hypothesis comes from the fact that mammals with larger body size have longer maximum life spans (large animals do have higher total metabolic rates, but the metabolic rate at the cellular level is much lower, and the breathing rate and heartbeat are slower in larger animals) and the fact that the longevity of fruit flies ...

7. Glucose tolerance test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose_tolerance_test

   A zero time (baseline) blood sample is drawn. The patient is then given a measured dose (below) of glucose solution to drink within a 5-minute time frame. Blood is drawn at intervals for measurement of glucose (blood sugar), and sometimes insulin levels. The intervals and number of samples vary according to the purpose of the test.
