“…The use of lean body mass as an indication of metabolic size has been recommended (Keys & Brozek, 1953). But the estimation of lean body mass of rats is often not practical, as all procedures, with the exception of the one proposed by Lesser, Blumberg & Steele (1952), involve the death of the animals. With small animals the use of specific gravity as an indication of fat content results in large errors of determination which cancel the theoretical advantages from the use of this unit.…”

“…All gas samples were analyzed for cyclopropane content by a modification (17) of the method of Robbins (19,20 Since the amounts of nitrogen involved were large (about 60 L), the error due to loss or gain of dissolved body N. was insignificant. A minor correction for this was made in the calculation.…”

“…From the body habitus of each subject an estimate was made of the size of the FFLM. The solubility of cyclopropane in nonlipid tissues was studied and has been discussed in some detail in an earlier publication (17). For purposes of gas solubility, the FFLM was viewed as a polyphasic system containing 29 g of protein per 100 ml of iso-osmotic saline.…”
