  Total metabolism -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Total metabolism (also called metabolism) is all of a certain living (A living thing that has (or can develop) the ability to act or function independently) organism's (Produced by or used in a reaction involving changes in atoms or molecules) chemical processes.
The organism's metabolism can be dichotomized into the synthesis of organic molecules ((Synthesis of more complex substances from simpler ones) anabolism) and their breakdown ((Breakdown of more complex substances into simpler ones with release of energy) catabolism).
The halt of metabolism in a living organism is usually defined as its (The event of dying or departure from life) death.

 Metabolism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Metabolism (from μεταβολισμος ("metabolismos"), the Greek word for "change", or "overthrow" (Etymonline)), is the biochemical modification of chemical compounds in living organisms and cells.
The total metabolism are all biochemical processes of an organism.
Secondary metabolism, metabolic pathways that are not essential for growth, development or reproduction, but that usually have ecological function.

 Encyclopedia: Metabolism
In biochemistry, a metabolic pathway is a series of chemical reactions occurring within a cell, catalyzed by enzymes, to achieve in either the formation of a metabolic product to be used or stored by the cell, or the initiation of another metabolic pathway (then called a flux generating step).
Drug metabolism pathways, the modification or degradation of drugs and other xenobiotic compounds through specialized enzyme systems: Drug metabolism is the metabolism of drugs, their biochemical modification or degradation, usually through specialized enzymatic systems.
Basal metabolic rate (BMR), is the rate of metabolism when an individual is at rest in a warm environment and is in the post absorptive state, and has not eaten for at least 12 hours.

Each living cell has a metabolism (cell metabolism), as well as multicellular organisms like plants, animals and humans have a "total" metabolism that can differ from that of the individual cells.
The correct definition of metabolism is almost as difficult as the definition of life.
For example, according to the definition above, fire has a metabolism, too (it "eats", for example, wood, converts it to heat, and disposes ashes).

Metabolism is the uptake and digestion of food, and the disposal of waste products in living organisms.
When concerning an organism in its entirety, metabolism (also called total metabolism) is all of the living organism's chemical processes.
When concerning a particular living cell, metabolism (also called cell metabolism) is all of the chemical processes in that cell.

 RMR - The New Vital Sign
Metabolism is the body's process of converting food into energy to keep the body running and fuel daily activities.
Total metabolism, or total energy expenditure, represents the number of calories needed for maintaining body functions, daily activity (occupational and lifestyle), and the energy spent exercising.
Your resting metabolism, or resting metabolic rate (RMR), represents the number of calories your body burns to maintain vital body functions such as heart rate, brain function, and breathing.

 THE USE OF D 2 O 18 FOR MEASURING ENERGY METABOLISM IN COLUMBA LIVIA AT REST AND IN FLIGHT   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Actually, as will be noted later, the total body water did not decrease greatly during flight and the error from failure to adjust for changing body water was not as great as might be anticipated.
A resting metabolic rate for each flight experiment pigeon is found by: 7 kcal/kg/hr x mean weight (kg) x The estimated resting metabolism is multiplied by the factor 8 to arrive at an estimated energy requirement for strenuous work (Table 6).
The flight metabolism as a multiple of the resting metabolism which his data provide can be compared with those obtained in the D20 S flight experiment.

 Obesity Online Slides: resting energy expenditure, energy metabolism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Daily total energy expenditure (TEE) is comprised of 3 components: resting energy expenditure, the thermic effect of feeding, and energy expenditure of physical activity.
Although energy expenditure of metabolically active organs is responsible for a large component of REE, fat free-mass, which is composed primarily of skeletal muscle, accounts for most of the variability in energy expenditure between individuals.
Both total energy expenditure and resting energy expenditure are usually greater in obese than lean persons who are of the same height and gender because of greater body cell mass (both fat and fat-free cell masses) in obese persons.

The metabolic syndrome is characterized by low HDL-C levels and lipid-depleted small, dense LDL and is associated with insulin resistance, obesity, hypertension, and a hypercoagulable state [14,15].
The metabolic syndrome is common in CHD patients; therefore, the identification of moderate hypertriglyceridemia, even if the total cholesterol level is normal, should trigger a careful evaluation and treatment of this potentially atherogenic disorder [1].
Metabolism of HDL: Epidemiological and clinical studies have demonstrated that higher levels of HDL-C are protective against atherosclerotic vascular disease, whereas low HDL-C levels represent a powerful risk factor [21-25,41].

 ENERGY METABOLISM AND THEORETICAL FLIGHT RANGE OF BIRDS
We present a method for estimating the energy metabolism of flight which we believe yields equally reasonable estimates and is applicable for a wider range of species.

The total Ca (ie, protein-bound, complexed, and ionized Ca) is usually determined by clinical laboratory measurement of plasma Ca.
The total plasma Ca concentration can be corrected for the albumin level by using the approximation that measured total plasma Ca will decrease or increase 0.8 mg/dL (0.20 mmol/L) for every 1 g/dL decrease or increase in albumin.
Up to 6 µg/kg body weight or a total of 30 to 60 µg/day of calcitriol in addition to up to 3 g of elemental calcium daily is needed in the most severe cases.

 Metabolism and Thermoregulation
In birds and mammals the metabolic cost of maintaining endothermy is expensive, requiring at least 90% of total metabolism to be devoted to the regulation of body temperature.
Most can't crawl into holes and sleep like mammals; their metabolic rate is almost always at a peak.The smaller the bird, the more the energy used per gram of body weight because the increase in energy need doesn't increase quite as fast as weight.
In the wild a 25 gram bird has enough energy stores to last for perhaps two days, depending on environmental conditions, species of bird, etc. The resting metabolism and regulation of body heat are higher in winter than in summer and reproductive energy higher in the breeding season.
