For more than 200 years, the metabolic response that accompanies meal digestion has
been characterized, theorized, and experimentally studied. Historically labeled “specific …

Depending on the definitions used, up to 10% of all live-born neonates are small for
gestational age (SGA). Although the vast majority of these children show catch-up growth by …

▪ Abstract The ability of animals to survive food deprivation is clearly of considerable survival
value. Unsurprisingly, therefore, all animals exhibit adaptive biochemical and physiological …

Rates of clearance, ingestion, ammonia excretion, respiration and egg production were
measured in food-acclimated (0 to 1700 WC 1-l) planktonic copepods Acartia tonsa in …

Following feeding, the rate of oxygen consumption of fishes increases to a peak and then
slowly declines to the pre‐feeding level. Many factors have been shown to influence the …

Specific dynamic action (SDA) is the term used to refer to the increased metabolic
expenditure that occurs in postprandial animals. Postprandial increases in metabolism were …

Since its publication in 1950, the Biology of Human Starvation, which describes the classic
longitudinal Minnesota Experiment of semistarvation and refeeding in healthy young men …

Total energy expenditure (TEE) was calculated at 1–18 years of age from measurements
with doubly labelled water (DLW) in 483 boys and 646 girls, and heart rate monitoring …

Energy requirement throughout growth relates to body composition in several ways. The
components of energy requirement are basal metabolic rate (BMR), energy spent in physical …

All organisms face the problem of how to fuel ontogenetic growth. We present a model,
empirically grounded in data from birds and mammals, that correctly predicts how growing …
