Abstract

Keeping in mind the relationship between the basal metabolic rate and the change in weight in the aging process, we propose to verify the holographic description of the same. For this we set ourselves the following objectives: Verify the correlation between total energy dissipation and energy dissipation per unit body mass, and verify the correlation between the total energy dissipation and the body mass. As a result of the data analysis, we obtained a coherent representation of our proposal. A high degree of correlation between the total energy dissipation in an organism and the basal metabolic rate/dry kg was found. Such a condition implies that the stated biological system satisfies the Holographic Principle.

Highlights

  • In previous works, we have tried to understand the biological aging process as a consequence of the relationship between Basal Metabolism Rate (BMR) and the body mass of an organism [1]

  • We study the evolution of the values of the Basal Metabolism Rate BMR/unit of Dry Weight (BMR/dry weight), and the evolution of the values of the total body mass throughout a lifespan

  • Data on the evolution of the BMR/dry kg, the total energy dissipation expressed in Kcal/day, and the total body mass expressed in kg throughout the lifespan in human beings are from Tables of previous works [23]

Summary

Introduction

We have tried to understand the biological aging process as a consequence of the relationship between Basal Metabolism Rate (BMR) and the body mass of an organism [1]. We proposed a vector model to explain this phenomenon [2]. This consideration is not a whim, but it derives from the following concept: the metabolic activity of a cell depends on its exchange of matter and energy within the environment, and this occurs through its surface [3] [4] [5]. The metabolic activity depends on its relative surface area or the surface area per volume unit [6] [7] [8] [9]. For these purposes, body mass is assimilable to volume, since there is a direct
