The respiratory quotient (RQ or respiratory coefficient) is a dimensionless number used in calculations of basal metabolic rate (BMR) when estimated from carbon dioxide production. It is calculated from the ratio of carbon dioxide produced by the body to oxygen consumed by the body, when the body is in a steady state.
where RQ is the respiratory quotient (ratio of volume CO 2 produced to volume of O 2 consumed), is 21.13 kilojoules (5.05 kcal), the heat released per litre of oxygen by the oxidation of carbohydrate, and is 19.62 kilojoules (4.69 kcal), the value for fat. This gives the same result as the Weir formula at RQ = 1 (burning only carbohydrates ...
Studies of energy metabolism using both methods provide convincing evidence for the validity of the respiratory quotient (RQ), which measures the inherent composition and utilization of carbohydrates, fats and proteins as they are converted to energy substrate units that can be used by the body as energy.
The respiratory quotient can be measured across a capillary bed of a particular organ or even a collection of cells in vitro. Most of the time RER and RQ are the same value, however, during a metabolic or respiratory acidosis/alkalosis RER and RQ do not have to be the same value. Valbaugh 11:45, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Another value that can be calculated is the "Respiratory quotient". RQ = rate of CO2 production/rate of O2 consumption. RQ can vary with diet and exercise, but under typical conditions, RQ = 0.8. Only approximately 7.5% of lung air is changed over on one breath at rest. Could someone cite and further explain the relationship between those two ...

Researchers have found that the far more common overdose risk with Suboxone occurs when an addict shoots up the drug intravenously in combination with a respiratory depressant, such as a benzodiazepine like Xanax. The Times article did not question the efficacy of Suboxone when used properly.
