Metabolism of Healthy Max. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 144. 



Subject, A. H. M., April 5, 1906. (Same subject as in 

 experiment No. 137.) 



The subject entered the respiration chamber at 7 h 30 m a. m. and was weighed 

 at 7 h 48 m a. m. The beginning of the first period was at 8 h 30 m a. m. and 

 immediately afterwards the subject drank slowly 345 grams of cream, mixed 

 with 246 c. c. of water. The experiment continued for five 2-hour periods and 

 ended at 6 h 30 m p. m. During the last 2 hours the subject stood in the same 

 manner as in the preceding experiment, and this period is here reported with 

 the 2 hours preceding when the subject was sitting still. During both periods 

 he was reading part of the time. At 4 h 32 m p. m. the subject passed 264 grams 

 of urine. He drank no more water after that which was added to the cream. 

 The subject said that the cream tasted a little sour (there had been 6 c. c. 

 of limewater added to it). He felt no bad effects and was in no way incon- 

 venienced by the amount. The data for the main portion of the experiment 

 are reserved for a subsequent discussion. 



The body-temperature, pulse, and respiration were determined as in experi- 

 ment No. 141. The records of the pulse and respiration are given in table 30, 

 and the body-temperature records were as follows: 2 h 30 m p.m., 36.25 C; 

 4 h 30 ra p. m., 36.25 C; 6 h 30 m p. m., 36.39 C. The results for the last two 

 periods in which the metabolism during sitting can be compared with the 

 metabolism during standing are given in table 44.
