Metabolism of Healthy Man. 



without food from the day before; in this particular case the subject ate no 

 supper the night before and no food was eaten during the experiment. 



The subject entered the respiration chamber at 7 h 30 m a. m. without break- 

 fast and was weighed at 7 h 35 m a. m. He went through the series of movements 

 outlined above every 5 minutes during the preliminary period and 10 seconds 

 after the beginning of the experiment at 8 h 35 m a. m. he began the regular 

 series for the experiment. The average length of time required for this series 

 of movements was found to be 18.75 seconds. The experiment lasted 8 hours, 

 and every 5 minutes during this time the subject went through the above 

 series of movements, resting between. The subject passed 160 grams of urine 

 at 12 h 40 m p. m. and 94 grams at 4 h 50 m p. m., after the experiment. The 

 experiment was finished at 4 h 35 m p. m. He drank no water. The subject 

 said that he did not feel drowsy, and although he was somewhat hungry, he 

 felt no discomfort. He said he hurried somewhat during the operations and 

 that the constant rising and sitting did not tire him. He read most of the 

 time when at rest. 



The pulse and respiration and body-temperature were measured as in experi- 

 ment No. 141, the records for the pulse and respiration being given in table 28. 

 The records of the body-temperature were as follows: 8 h 35 m a. m., 36.84 C. ; 

 10 h 35 ra a.m., 36.80 C; 12 h 35 m p.m., 36.79 C; 2 h 35 m p.m., 36.80 C; 

 4 h 35 m p. m., 36.82 C. The measurements of the metabolism during this ex- 

 periment are given in table 44.
