Research on biothermodynamics dates back to the publication of the manuscript What Is Life? by Schrödinger in the 1940s, which encouraged the use of the fundamental principles …
In living systems, entropy is generated as the result of the metabolic activity, most of it is exported, while only a small fraction is accumulated. Accumulation reveals itself as structural …
Organisms uptake energy from their diet and maintain a highly organized structure by importing energy and exporting entropy. A fraction of the generated entropy is accumulated …

Background Obesity prevalence is increasing worldwide, and it causes restrictions in the respiratory system. Bioenergetics is known as energy management in a living cell …
Thermodynamic aspects of skeletal and cardiac muscle work performance are assessed with the data obtained from the literature. Since the second law muscle work efficiency …
Thermodynamic analyses are performed to quantify allocation of the nutritional energy and exergy to most of the life processes by pregnant mice. In these analyses,'internal work …
A precedent study about the effects of obesity on exergy behavior concluded that higher body fat per se does not lead to higher mortality among obese people; the focus must be …
