Supplemental Table II a. Legend for indirect calorimetry-based metabolic dependent variables.
| VO 2(Volume of oxygen consumed per hour, normalized to body weight.) |
| VCO 2 (Volume of carbon dioxide produced per hour, normalized to body weight.) |
| Respiratory Quotient (Respiratory Exchange Ratio) (VCO 2/VO 2) |
| Heat Production [((4.33 × VO 2) + (0.67 × VCO 2)) + (Wt.(kg.)) × (60 Min./Hr.)] |
| Energy Expenditure[VO 2 × (364 + 113 × R.Q.)/22.4] |
