All living organisms are dependent on metabolism to fuel various vital activities
We compared the data measurements metabolic rate and respiratory quotient (RQ) obtained by Haldane apparatus and the data measurement RQ obtained by an open flow respirometry systems
RQ values in the same species obtained by the respirometry FoxBox of Sable Systems Inc at night was in the range 0.72-0.80 and on average equal to 0.760±0.02 (n=216)
Summary
All living organisms are dependent on metabolism (biochemical resource use and transformation) to fuel various vital activities. The study of the respiratory quotient in energetic is of particular interest and importance. Our data largely agree with results reported by other authors who used drastically different methods over several decades. This allows used past studies in current time. The ratio between CO2, which forms during the process of metabolism, and O2, which is consumed, is defined as the respiratory quotient (RQ). This parameter plays a major role in the physiology of metabolism [2,3]
