2. Resting metabolic rate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resting_metabolic_rate

   In the review organized by the USDA, [15] most publications documented specific conditions of resting measurements, including time from latest food intake or physical activities; this comprehensive review estimated RMR is 10 – 20% higher than BMR due to thermic effect of feeding and residual burn from activities that occur throughout the day.

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. 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.

5. Schofield equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schofield_equation

   The Schofield Equation is a method of estimating the basal metabolic rate (BMR) of adult men and women published in 1985. [1]This is the equation used by the WHO in their technical report series. [2]

6. Respirometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respirometry

   Respirometry depends on a "what goes in must come out" principle. [6] Consider a closed system first. Imagine that we place a mouse into an air-tight container. The air sealed in the container initially contains the same composition and proportions of gases that were present in the room: 20.95% O 2, 0.04% CO 2, water vapor (the exact amount depends on air temperature, see dew point), 78% ...

7. Blood glucose monitoring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_glucose_monitoring

   Blood glucose monitoring is the use of a glucose meter for testing the concentration of glucose in the blood ().Particularly important in diabetes management, a blood glucose test is typically performed by piercing the skin (typically, via fingerstick) to draw blood, then applying the blood to a chemically active disposable 'test-strip'.
