	Live fast, die old: High metabolic rate gives mice a longer life
		Mice with sky-high metabolic rates live far longer than their sluggish cousins, UK researchers have found, raising the prospect that human lifespan might be lengthened with metabolism-boosting drugs.
		Metabolic rate is the pace at which the body burns food to produce energy.
		Speakman now plans to test if a higher metabolic rate can prolong human life, but he cautions that a quick fix to ageing is unlikely to be just around the corner.

	Basal metabolic rate -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Basal metabolic rate (BMR), is the rate of (The organic processes (in a cell or organism) that are necessary for life) metabolism when an individual is at rest in a warm envirnonment and is in the post absorptive state, and have not eaten for at least 12 hours.
		Basal metabolic rate is measured under very restrictive circumstances.
		A more common and closely related term used in many cases is resting metabolic rate (RMR), which is measured under less strict conditions.

	The feed zone - That Resting Metabolic Rate
		When heart rate monitor is used to measure energy expenditure, it is based on a linear relationship between heart rate and oxygen consumption that exists for each person.
		However, the same heart rate may not correspond to the same level of oxygen consumption in each person, and there is individual variability, so it is only estimation.
		When you input your weight into the heart rate monitor and estimate your max heart rate, this results in only an estimate of the calories burned based on a one size fits all equation.

		Metabolic Rate And Exercise: Researchers have been trying to puzzle out the effects of exercise on energy expenditure (calorie burning) for decades.

		The Anabolic Diet was the predecessor for the Metabolic Diet and was originally written for competitive bodybuilders so they could get down to very low levels of body fat while at the same time maintaining as much of their muscle mass as possible.
		The Metabolic Diet, since it both decreases body weight and increases insulin sensitivity, is an excellent diet and lifestyle management plan for type 2 diabetics, and it's also useful for the smaller number of insulin dependent or type 2 diabetics.
		Because different carbohydrates are digested at different rates and have different effects on glucose levels, glycemic indices have been developed for use in helping a diabetic in maintaining control of their blood sugar.

	Raise Metabolism: Basal Metabolic Rate
		From the viewpoint of diet and weight loss, metabolism is the process whereby the body converts food into energy (or uses it for bodily repairs) or stores it as fat for future use.
		Our Basal Metabolic Rate (or Resting Metabolic Rate) is the number of calories we need to burn in order to fuel essential bodily processes and keep our organs and tissues in working order.
		Our metabolic rate increases during digestion of food, a process known as the Thermal Effect of food.

	NEJM -- Familial dependence of the resting metabolic rate
		We studied 130 nondiabetic adult southwestern American Indians (74 men and 56 women) from 54 families to determine whether the resting metabolic rate, as measured by indirect calorimetry, is a familial trait that is independent of individual differences in fat-free mass (estimated mass of metabolically active tissue), age, and sex.
		We found that most of the variance in the resting metabolic rate (83 percent, P less than 0.0001) was accounted for by three covariates--fat-free mass, age, and sex--and that fat-free mass was the most important determinant.
		Thus, resting metabolic rate is a familial trait in this population, and it is independent of differences in fat-free mass, age, and sex.
