Basal Metabolism - Research News and Information
Thursday, January 08, 2009
Definition of 'Basal Metabolism'Heat production, or its measurement, of an organism at the lowest level of cell chemistry in an inactive, awake, fasting state. It may be determined directly by means of a calorimeter or indirectly by calculating the heat production from an analysis of the end products of oxidation within the organism or from the amount of oxygen utilized. Common names: Basal Metabolism; Metabolism, Basal; Basal Metabolic Rate; Basal Metabolic Rates; Metabolic Rates, Basal; Rate, Basal Metabolic; Rates, Basal Metabolic; Metabolic Rate, Basal |
The influence of basal metabolic rate on blood pressure among indigenous Siberians.

Hypertension is an important global health issue and is currently increasing at a rapid pace in most industrializing nations. Although a number of risk factors have been linked with the development of hypertension, including obesity, high dietary ... Read more...
Spontaneous physical activity: relationship between fidgeting and body weight control.
29 Sep 2008 PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To discuss the potential importance of spontaneous physical activity in regulating body weight and outline possible reasons for the large interindividual variance in spontaneous physical activity. RECENT FINDINGS: Spontaneous ... Read more...
29 Sep 2008 BACKGROUND: Dairy calcium supplementation has been proposed to increase fat oxidation and to inhibit lipogenesis. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate the effects of calcium supplementation on markers of fat metabolism. DESIGN: In a ... Read more...
