Metabolism of Healthy Man. 



The body-temperature was taken with the electrical-resistance thermometer 

 and the pulse and respiration with a pneumograph. The records for the pulse 

 and respiration are given in table 33. The records of the body-temperature 

 were as follows: 9 a.m., 36.88 C. ; 11 a.m., 36.78 C. ; 1 p.m., 36.69 C; 

 3 p.m., 36.71 C. ; 5 p.m., 36.88 C. The measurements of the metabolism 

 in the four 2-hour periods are given in table 44.

METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 148. 



Subject, A. L. L., March 20, 1906. (Same subject as in 

 experiment No. 147.) 



The subject entered the calorimeter chamber at about 7 h 30 m a. m., without 

 breakfast, and took no food during the experiment. For supper the night 

 before he had eaten a bowlful of oatmeal with milk and sugar, 2 slices of 

 bread, and a cup of cocoa. The subject remained seated in the chair until 

 15 minutes before the experiment began. He then rose from the chair and 

 went through the operation of opening and closing the food aperture, as 

 described in experiment No. 142. (See p. 61.) The first period began at 

 9 h 10 m a. m., and a few moments later the subject resumed the operation, car- 

 rying it out every 5 minutes during the whole experiment. The average time 

 taken for the series of movements was 29 seconds. The experiment ended at 

 5 h 10 m p. m., and measurements were made in four 2-hour periods. The 

 subject did not urinate or drink during the experiment. At 5 h 25 m p. m., 

 after the experiment was ended, 349 grams of urine were passed. After coming 

 out of the chamber he said that getting up and down so often was somewhat 

 tiresome. He was not at all thirsty during the day, but was hungry. 



The pulse and respiration were taken by means of the pneumograph and 

 the records are given in table 34. The body temperature records were made 

 by the rectal thermometer and were as follows: 9 h 10 m a.m., 36.86 C; 

 ll h 10 m a.m., 36.76 C. ; l h 10 ra p.m., 36.67 C; 3 h 10 m p.m., 36.63 C.; 

 5 h 10 m p. m., 36.67 C. The measurements of the metabolism are given in 

 table 44.
