Metabolism of Healthy Man. 



hour was found with the subject H. A., namely, 33.3 grams, and the smallest 

 amount was found with the subject H. G., namely, 19.9 grams. The average 

 of the results from all the subjects showed that 27.1 grams of oxygen were 

 absorbed per hour by man when awake and at rest.

1 In computing body-surface the formula of Meeh has been used : 12.312 vbody-weight. 



Converting these values to cubic centimeters per minute we have a maximum 

 of 389 c. c. and a minimum of 232 c. c. per minute. The average of all the 

 subjects showed that 316 c. c. of oxygen were absorbed per minute.
