Metabolism And Energy Transformations Of Healthy Man During Rest (1910)

The Metabolism And Energy Transformations Of Healthy Man During Rest is a book written by Francis Gano Benedict and originally published in 1910. The book provides a comprehensive study of the metabolism and energy transformations of a healthy human body during periods of rest. Benedict, who was a prominent American physiologist, conducted extensive research on the subject and compiled his findings in this book.The book covers various aspects of metabolism, including the measurement of basal metabolic rate, the role of oxygen consumption in energy production, and the effects of different diets on metabolism. Benedict also discusses the factors that influence metabolism, such as age, sex, and body composition.The book is based on a series of experiments carried out by Benedict and his colleagues, which involved measuring the oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production of subjects during periods of rest. The results of these experiments are presented in detail, along with the methods used to obtain them.Overall, The Metabolism And Energy Transformations Of Healthy Man During Rest is a seminal work in the field of human metabolism and provides valuable insights into the functioning of the human body. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the science of human physiology and metabolism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
