2. Respiratory quotient - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_quotient

   The respiratory quotient value indicates which macronutrients are being metabolized, as different energy pathways are used for fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. [1] If metabolism consists solely of lipids, the respiratory quotient is approximately 0.7, for proteins it is approximately 0.8, and for carbohydrates it is 1.0.

3. Shunt equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shunt_equation

   Using the fact that each gram of hemoglobin can carry 1.34 mL of O2, the oxygen content of the blood (either arterial or venous) can be estimated by the following formula: = [] ( /) + PO2 is the partial pressure of oxygen and reflects the amount of oxygen gas dissolved in the blood. The term 0.0032 * P02 in the equation is very small and ...

4. Ventilation/perfusion ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilation/perfusion_ratio

   In respiratory physiology, the ventilation/perfusion ratio (V/Q ratio) is a ratio used to assess the efficiency and adequacy of the ventilation-perfusion coupling and thus the matching of two variables: V – ventilation – the air that reaches the alveoli; Q – perfusion – the blood that reaches the alveoli via the capillaries

6. Indirect calorimetry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indirect_calorimetry

   where RQ is the respiratory quotient (ratio of volume CO 2 produced to volume of O 2 consumed), is 21.13 kilojoules (5.05 kcal), the heat released per litre of oxygen by the oxidation of carbohydrate, and is 19.62 kilojoules (4.69 kcal), the value for fat. This gives the same result as the Weir formula at RQ = 1 (burning only carbohydrates ...
