Document Summary
Doubly-labeled water oxygen with molecular weight of 18 & Inject the doubly-labeled water into the body of animal. 2 ways 18-oxygen can leave the body as part of the water molecule, h2o & as part of the carbon dioxide molecule, c2o. If you can calculate rate experienced over the time of injection & recapture. If you can calculate experienced over the time of injection & recapture & the . Animal so, use an indirect measure, to estimate heat energy given off by animal the most common type of metabolic rate that is measured using this technique field metabolic rate. The doubly-labeled water technique is best suited to measure the field metabolic rate b/c the box used in other methods would limit the animal, it won"t be in its natural environment. Removable test section: fish is inside the , upstream of the test section is a .
