Homozygous mutant males had decreased body weight, body length and respiratory quotient.
2.
Male heterzygous mice had a decreased respiratory quotient.
3.
Female homozygotes had a decreased respiratory quotient, increased circulating alkaline phosphatase level and increased leukocyte cell number.
4.
Conversely, molecules that are less oxidized ( e . g ., fatty acids ) require more oxygen for their complete metabolism and have lower respiratory quotients.
5.
The CO 2 loss tells us the energy produced, if we know or can estimate the respiratory quotient ( ratio of CO 2 produced to oxygen used ).
6.
In general, molecules that are more oxidized ( e . g ., glucose ) require less oxygen to be fully metabolized and, therefore, have higher respiratory quotients.
7.
As an organism takes up O 2, it generates a proportionate quantity of CO 2 ( see respiratory quotient ), but all the CO 2 is absorbed by the soda lime.
8.
Measuring this ratio can be used for estimating the respiratory quotient ( RQ ), an indicator of which fuel ( carbohydrate or fat ) is being metabolized to supply the body with energy.
9.
His called his approach Metabolic Activation Therapy ( MAT ), which consisted of an ever-increasing baseline of insulin using Respiratory Quotient to determine the efficiency of treatment ( US Patent 4, 826, 810 ).
10.
Studies of energy metabolism using both methods provide convincing evidence for the validity of the respiratory quotient ( R . Q . ), 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.
