1 24-hr EE = Twenty four hour energy expenditure expressed per kg body weight 2 RMR = 24-hour resting metabolic rate expressed per kg body weight 3 SMR = 24-hour sleeping metabolic rate expressed per kg body weight 4 PA = physical activity as determined by the amount of oscillations in weight (g) derived from the balance within the EMTAC enclosure. Data includes periods of sleep 5 RQ = Respiratory quotient determined as the rate of carbon dioxide production/oxygen consumption in liters |
