Meanings of respiratory quotient in English

Physical activity was reduced, while respiratory quotient was increased, in mice receiving corticosterone.

Furthermore, apelin treatment increased body temperature and O(2) consumption and decreased the respiratory quotient.

There was a trend toward reduced energy expenditure and increased respiratory quotient, albeit not significant, in the fructose group.

REE, respiratory quotient, plasma glucose and insulin concentrations increased sooner, steeper and higher with the LM than with the SM.

Energy expenditure, locomotor activity, body core temperature, respiratory quotient as well as food and water intake were analyzed using indirect calorimetry.

However, very little information is available on the variations in respiratory quotient (RQ) during the 24-h period in rats.

In addition to its effects on food intake, MTII infusion elevated oxygen consumption and decreased respiratory quotient dose dependently during the light cycle.

No significant differences among the groups were observed in TEF, fasting and postprandial respiratory quotient, or the change in fasting respiratory quotient with underfeeding.

There was no difference in O2 consumption between genotypes; however, NmU transgenic mice displayed a modest increase in respiratory quotient during food deprivation and refeeding.

It is concluded that the frequency of food consumption influences the immediate thermogenic response as well as the changes in respiratory quotient, glycaemia and insulinaemia.

The respiratory quotient (RQ) in ghrelin-injected chickens was reduced until 14 h after administration whereas plasma glucose and triglycerides concentrations were not altered.

The respiratory quotient (RQ) in rats administered a single oral dose of NO-1886 was significantly lower than control rats under both fed and fasted conditions.

Z rats had higher values for O2 consumption, CO2 production, and respiratory quotient than the other three strains, with no independent effect by sex.

The respiratory quotient did not decrease in CPT1C KO mice after 48 hours of fasting, confirming a defective switch on fuel substrate selection under hypoglycemia.

Indirect calorimetry was used to determine REE and to calculate respiratory quotients.

Respiratory quotient under Corinthian currant was similar with glucose-drink and higher than water throughout the submaximal trial.
