Linked from

The 18 pages that link to Basal metabolic rate, each with the reason it gives.

• MetabolismRelated: It measures the energy cost of maintaining essential functions supported by metabolism.

• Energy balanceBroader topic: It accounts for much of daily expenditure even without deliberate activity.

• Metabolic rateBroader topic: It isolates baseline energy use from digestion, exercise, and temperature regulation.

• EndothermyRelated: It reflects the baseline metabolic energy available for heat production.

• Aerobic respirationRelated: Aerobic respiration supplies much of the ATP underlying resting energy expenditure.

• Weight lossRelated: Resting energy use contributes to expenditure and can shift as body mass changes.

• ThermogenesisRelated: It includes ongoing metabolic heat production, but is broader than regulated thermogenesis.

• CalorieRelated: Daily calorie needs depend partly on energy used at rest.

• Food energyRelated: It is a major component of the energy needs that food must meet.

• TriiodothyronineRelated: T3 raises metabolic activity in many tissues and can increase resting energy use.

• EndothermRelated: Its measurement helps compare the baseline energetic demands of endotherms.

• Human nutritionRelated: It accounts for a substantial share of daily energy needs.

• August KroghRelated: Krogh’s work on metabolism and gas exchange contributed methods for measuring energy use in organisms.

• Kleiber's lawBroader topic: This is the energy measure whose body-mass relationship defines Kleiber's law.

• CatabolismRelated: Resting energy use depends substantially on ongoing catabolic and other metabolic activity.

• BradymetabolismRelated: It provides a reference rate against which unusually slow metabolism can be assessed.

• Energy (nutrition)Related: It is a major component of daily energy needs, distinct from the energy supplied by food.

• Energy utilizationRelated: It estimates the minimum energy cost of maintaining basic bodily functions.
