Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the impact of doing mechanical work on the metabolic rate and efficiency of the human body as a machine. The author, an expert in nutrition, designed and built a bicycle ergometer - a device that records the amount of external muscular work performed by a person…riding a bicycle - and used it to measure the calorific output of subjects performing work at different intensities. A series of experiments were conducted with three young men and a professional bicyclist, showing that the body can transform 20% of its energy into mechanical work. This finding contributes to our understanding of the efficiency of the human body and the relationship between energy expenditure and physical effort. Moreover, this research advances our knowledge of the physiological mechanisms underlying muscular work and energy production. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the development and construction of specialized laboratory equipment designed to research metabolic processes in the human body. The primary focus is on the creation of calorimeters that precisely measure heat production during various activities and conditions. The a…uthor provides a comprehensive historical background of calorimetry and its evolution. To ensure the accuracy of measurements, the author details the design principles and construction of the apparatus, discussing its fundamental components such as thermal junctions, cooling circuits, and ventilation systems. The book showcases innovations that enhance experimental accuracy and facilitate manipulation, including modifications to the calorimeter's structural steel framework, zinc and copper walls, and heat-absorbing systems. The author highlights the significance of these advancements for the field, enabling researchers to precisely quantify heat production and gain deeper insights into human physiology and abnormal metabolism. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a foundational study into the metabolic rates of humans at rest and while engaging in various activities. Building upon earlier research that focused on understanding respiratory processes of the body, the author sought to collect data on the respiratory exchange of health…y men under controlled conditions. The author includes extensive discussions of prior research, methods used to collect the data, and an analysis of factors such as muscular activity, sleep, and exposure to cold on the body's metabolism. The insights gained from this research form the basis of our current understanding of the body's energy requirements and have significantly influenced the fields of nutrition and preventative medicine. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the results of a comparative investigation into the reliability of the principal respiration apparatus in use today. The author, a distinguished expert in the field of nutrition, sought to determine whether the results obtained with these apparatus were reliable and…physiologically comparable. The investigation covered a wide range of lines, including the comparison of closed and open-circuit apparatus, the use of different breathing appliances, and the effects of varying experimental conditions. The book provides valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of the different methods, making it a valuable resource for researchers and clinicians alike.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the physiological relationship between food and energy. It reviews previous scientific studies and provides detailed accounts of the author's own extensive experiments on the metabolic effects of various foods. Challenging the notion that digestion alone accounts for… the increased energy expenditure after eating, the author explores internal processes such as peristalsis, heat used to warm ingested foods, and the stimulating effects of nutrients on cellular activity. The author traces the historical development of this field of study from the work of Lavoisier and Seguin to the turn of the 20th century, demonstrating the evolution of scientific understanding on this topic. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Human Metabolism With Enemata of Alcohol, Dextrose and Levulose' is a detailed scientific investigation into the physiological effects and absorption rates of specific nutrients and substances when administered rectally. Conducted by Thorne M. Carpenter, this research explores the metabolic respo…nse to alcohol, dextrose, and levulose, providing extensive data on respiratory exchange and the resulting respiratory quotient. Through a series of rigorous experiments, the work examines how these substances are utilized by the human body when the traditional oral route is bypassed.The study is particularly notable for its meticulous measurement of gaseous exchange and heat production, offering insights into the speed and efficiency with which the body processes nutrients through the lower intestinal tract. This volume serves as a significant historical document in the field of clinical nutrition and metabolic research, illustrating the evolution of experimental techniques in the early 20th century. Researchers and historians of medicine will find value in the detailed observations regarding the physiological impact of non-oral nutrition and its implications for understanding human energetics and the mechanics of nutrient utilization.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
