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. 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]

4. 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 ...

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. 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.

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'.
