Mosse (1920) collected these and presented them in convenient tabular form. He expressed the data, however, in cubic centimeters of oxygen for each kilogram of body weight. Grafe (1923) in his extensive monograph recalculated the data given by Mosse and stated that, in comparison with the Harris and Benedict normal standards in only six of the twenty-two cases in...Bibliography(1) ABBOTT ME: The determination of basal metabolism by the "respiratory valve and spirometer method" of indirect calorimetry, with an observation on a case of polycythemia with splenomegaly.
