Design of the mammalian respiratory system. IX. Functional and structural limits for oxygen flow.
(1981-04)
This paper presents the synthesis and interpretation of a series of correlated studies of the mammalian respiratory system--measurements of maximal rate of O2 consumption, the lung's diffusing capacity, the mitochondrial ...
Design of the mammalian respiratory system. III Scaling maximum aerobic capacity to body mass: wild and domestic mammals.
(1981-04)
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the maximal rate of oxygen consumption (Vo2max) is scaled proportionally to Mb1.0, as the diffusing capacity of the lung, or proportionally to Mb0.75, as the standardized ...
Design of the mammalian respiratory system. II. Measuring maximum aerobic capacity.
(1981-04)
We describe a simple and reproducible procedure for measuring maximal O2 consumption (Vo2max) that can be used for mammals spanning a wide range of body mass (Mb). Vo2 of trained animals was measured as a function of speed ...
Design of the mammalian respiratory system. V. Scaling morphometric pulmonary diffusing capacity to body mass: wild and domestic mammals.
(1981-04)
This paper utilizes a comparative approach to establish the relationship between morphometric diffusing capacity for oxygen (DLo2) and maximal oxygen consumption (Vo2max). DLo2 and Vo2max were determined on the same 21 ...
