This paper reviews the assumptions involved in calculating rates of carbohydrate and fat oxidation from measurements of O2 consumption, CO2 production, and urinary nitrogen excretion. It is shown that erroneous results are obtained in the presence of metabolic processes such as lipogenesis and gluconeogenesis. The apparent rates calculated under these conditions can, however, be interpreted as net rates of "utilization." Thus the apparent rate of carbohydrate oxidation is the sum of the rates…

Moving from a complete energy balance towards substrate oxidation: use of stable isotopes

Using 13C labelling in combination with indirect calorimetry provides unique opportunities to quantify the contribution of individual substrates (endogenous as well as exogenous) to whole body energy metabolism.

Deriving heat production from gaseous exchange: validity of the approach

The use of indirect calorimetry as a means to quantify heat production (Q) and net substrate oxidation has increased rapidly since the pioneering work of Lavoisier, and today, indirect calorimetry is…

Estimation of energy expenditure, net carbohydrate

It is concluded that there is considerable uncertainty when the mix of fuels utilized is assessed accurately and accuracy is best within 5% of the true values.

Design of the oxygen and substrate pathways. II. Defining the upper limits of carbohydrate and fat oxidation.

It is concluded that the partitioning of fuel supply to the fat and carbohydrate pathways follows the same pattern in both dogs and goats, and it appears to be general to mammals.

Quantification of carbohydrate oxidation by respiratory gas exchange and isotopic tracers.

It is concluded that respiratory calorimetry and [13C]glucose tracer give comparable results only in a narrow range of RER, which is important when the disposal of glucose is compared using these techniques in different metabolic states with varying respiratory quotients.

Assessment of glucose metabolism in humans with the simultaneous use of indirect calorimetry and tracer techniques.

In this paper, isotopic determination of glucose oxidation corresponds to oxidation of glucose originating from hepatic glycogen breakdown, of exogenously administered glucose, and of glucose formed from amino acids and glycerol, which is included in net protein or lipid oxidation.

Design of the oxygen and substrate pathways. IV. Partitioning energy provision from fatty acids.

It is concluded that fatty acids from intramuscular triglyceride stores are a major source of fuel during maximal rates of lipid oxidation, and this branch of the fatty acid pathway that is adapted to the large difference in aerobic capacity between dogs and goats.

Plasma acetone metabolism in the fasting human.

During maximum acetonemia, acetone production from aceto acetate could account for 37% of the anticipated acetoacetate production, which implies that a significant fraction of the latter compound does not undergo immediate terminal oxidation.

Effects of Therapy on the Nature and Quantity of Fuels Oxidized During Diabetic Ketoacidosis

A dissociation between the decrease in plasma glucose, free fatty acids, ketone bodies, and amino acids and the nature of fuels oxidized is observed, suggesting that, during the initial hours of therapy for DKA, the predominant effect of insulin is to promote fuel storage rather than to promote glucose and ketone body oxidation.

Validation of a tracer technique to determine nonsteady-state ketone body turnover rates in man.

The "functional" pool fraction P was determined as the pool fraction that provided the best match between tracer-determined rates ofketone production and rates of AcAc infusion, suggesting rapid mixing of ketone bodies throughout the entire pool.

The effect of sepsis on the oxidation of carbohydrate and fat

Glucose oxidation was reduced in the septic patients and fat oxidation continued despite the infusion of an excess of glucose, and the highly significant positive relationship found between the plasma cortisol concentration and the sepsis score might be important.

Fat metabolism in heavy exercise.

The finding of a high respiratory exchange ratio may not exclude the use of fat as a major fuel source in exercise associated with lactate production, and fat metabolism may be controlled to favour adipose tissue lipolysis and extraction of free fatty acids by muscle from the circulation.

Substrate oxidation shortly after accidental injury in man.

Oxidative metabolism have been studied by indirect calorimetry in 42 patients within the first 6 h after accidental injury, indicating that the main substrate for oxidation in these patients was fat, despite their hyperglycaemia.
