... aerobic levels when body mass variation is considered. Sminthopsis crassicaudata has a basal metabolic rate (BMR) about 75% of placental values but it has a notably large factorial aerobic scope (fAS) of 13; elevated fAS also features in hopping marsupials. The of S. crassicaudata was supported...

... because of body mass-specific scaling of metabolic rate. In the presence of additional inhibitors that blocked components of ATP demand, the mean rate of AP depletion was reduced. Fig. 4B shows the muscle basal metabolic rate, which is equivalent to the AP depletion rate when ATP production was blocked...

... for mammals, their basal metabolic rate (BMR) and maximal oxygen consumption in exercise( V̇ O 2 max ) and thermogenesis( V̇ O 2 sum )increased as power functions of mass. Age did not affect BMR, but we found abrupt decreases in growth rate, V̇ O 2 max and V̇ O 2 sum at approximately 485 days of age...

...Alfred A. Heusner ABSTRACT The relationship between basal metabolism P and body mass M of 391 mammalian species has been analysed by least-squares regression, robust regression and covariance analyses. This relationship is a power function: where the mass exponent b is 0.678±0.007 (mean±S.D...
