Respiration Calorimeters for Studying the Respiratory Exchange and Energy Transformations of Man

By Thorne Martin Carpenter, Francis Gano Benedict, Thorne Martin 1878- Carpenter, et al.

Book Overview

"Respiration Calorimeters for Studying the Respiratory Exchange and Energy Transformations of Man" details the design, construction, and use of respiration calorimeters in physiological research. Authored by Francis Gano Benedict, a pioneering figure in the field of metabolic study, this work provides an in-depth exploration of the methods used to measure respiratory exchange and energy transformations in human subjects.

Originally published in 1910, this book offers a comprehensive guide to the scientific principles underlying calorimetry and its application to understanding human physiology. It includes detailed descriptions of the apparatus, experimental procedures, and data analysis techniques. This historical text is invaluable for researchers, students, and anyone interested in the history of metabolic science and the development of techniques for studying human energy metabolism.
