Respiratory quotient: Carbohydrates, fats and protein

Respiratory Quotient: Carbohydrates, fats and protein The respiratory quotient (or RQ or respiratory coefficient), is a dimensionless number used in calculations of basal metabolic rate (BMR) when estimated from carbon dioxide production. It is calculated from the ratio of carbon dioxide produced by the body to Oxygen consumed by the body. Such measurements, like measurements … Read more
