and 10.31 grams of carbohydrates (considered as glycogen) 

 in the urine amounted to 3.59 grams.

 The essential data involved in the calculation of the heat production are 

 recorded in table 83.

Balance of Energy. 

 In this experiment, as in No. 70, the computed energy of the oxidized body 

 material is compared with the heat production.
