Abstract:The results are of interest in connection with the recent paper of Grafe, Reinwein and Singer,2 who found that the rates of respkation of surviving tissues of animals varying in size from the mouse to the ox, are of substantially the same magnitude, whereas the oxygen absorption per kilogram of the whole living animal is some 20 times greater for the mouse than for the ox, thus demonstrating that the constant relation between metabolism and surface area is a function of the intact animal, and not a result of i… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
