MET ( Metabolic Equivalent ): The ratio of the work metabolic rate to the resting metabolic rate.

* MET, Metabolic Equivalent of Task, or simply metabolic equivalent, is a measure of the intensity of aerobic exercise.

MET ( Metabolic Equivalent ): The ratio of the work metabolic rate to the resting metabolic rate.

Originally, 1 MET was considered as the Resting Metabolic Rate ( RMR ) obtained during quiet sitting.

Metabolic alkalosis is usually accompanied with hypokalemia, causing, e. g., muscular weakness, myalgia, and muscle cramps ( owing to disturbed function of the skeletal muscles ), and muscle spasms ( from disturbed function of smooth muscles ).

Metabolic rate scales with the mass of an organism of a given species according to Kleiber's law where B is whole organism metabolic rate ( in watts or other unit of power ), M is organism mass ( in kg ), and B < sub > o </ sub > is a mass-independent normalization constant ( given in a unit of power divided by a unit of mass.

He was subsequently appointed Chief of the Laboratory of Chemical Biology at the National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases ( now the National Institute of Arthritis, Diabetes, and Digestive and Kidney Diseases ), where he remained until 1981.

She is Panama's Patron for Fosemo ( Osteoporosis Foundation ), and Sponsor of the Osteoporosis and Metabolic Disease Foundation of Panama.

Legislation enacted during 1948 made NIH into a plural " Institutes " by adding a National Heart Institute, the National Institute of Dental Research, the National Microbiological Institute ( predecessor to the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Institute ), and the National Institute of Experimental Biology and Medicine ( renamed the National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases in 1950 ), followed by the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Blindness ( 1950 ) and a 500-bed Clinical Center to link bench research with patient care ( 1953 ).

Hypoglycaemia ( due to depleted hepatic glycogen store and hyperinsulinaemia ), hypokalaemia, hypophosphataemia and Metabolic alkalosis are often present, independent of renal function.

It must not be confused or misused as an approximation of Basal Metabolic Rate ( BMR ), which is the minimum metabolic rate obtained under specified conditions.

Among other appointments, he chairs the Committee on Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases ( CCMD ), a multifaceted educational initiative dedicated to creating continuing medical education ( CME ) programs that underscore the importance of managing cardiovascular and metabolic diseases &# 91 ; www.

* Metabolic Control Analysis, analysing how the control of fluxes and intermediate concentrations in a metabolic pathway is distributed

Metabolic acidosis may result from increased production of metabolic acids or disturbances in the ability to excrete acid via the kidneys.

Metabolic acidosis is compensated for in the lungs, as increased exhalation of carbon dioxide promptly shifts the buffering equation to reduce metabolic acid.

Metabolic typing claims to use common visible symptoms related to the skin, eyes, and other superficial parts of the body to assess different aspects of a person's metabolism and categorize them into broad metabolic types.

Moore was the author of the textbook The Metabolic Response to Surgery and a pioneer in studying metabolic problems related to surgery.

The Division of Diabetes, Endocrinology, and Metabolic Diseases ( DEM ) supports research, research training, and career development related to a vast and diverse range of diseases and conditions, including diabetes mellitus, obesity, osteoporosis, cystic fibrosis, thyroid and other endocrine disorders, and metabolic diseases.

The control of flux ( Kacser & Burns, 1973 ) was a landmark paper for both Kacser and Jim Burns describing how the rates of metabolic pathways were affected by changes in the amounts or activities of pathway enzymes ( See Metabolic Control Analysis ).

Metabolic acidosis is compounded by respiratory failure.

The Basal Metabolic Rate, which is the amount of calories the body expends at rest, meaning without performing any physical activity, is influenced by the person's total weight and total amount of muscle.

Metabolic syndrome is a combination of medical disorders that, when occurring together, increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

With an increase in the waist to hip ratio and overall waist circumference the risk of death increases as well. Metabolic syndrome is associated with abdominal obesity, blood lipid disorders, inflammation, insulin resistance, full-blown diabetes, and increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease .< ref > Després, Jean-Pierre, and Isabelle Lemieux.

The space will house Pfizer ’ s Cardiovascular, Metabolic and Endocrine Disease Research Unit and its Neuroscience Research Unit — and Pfizer anticipates moving into the space once it is completed in late 2013.

Metabolic syndrome is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with schizophrenia, with a prevalence rate more than triple that of nonpsychiatric populations.

Metabolic changes toward the fasting state begin after absorption of a meal ( typically 3 – 5 hours after a meal ); " post-absorptive state " is synonymous with this usage, in contrast to the " post-prandial " state of ongoing digestion.

Metabolic waste is voided from the bladders through a pair of openings near the front of the upper part of the mantle cavity, from where it joins the stream of exhalant water.

Metabolic waste diffuses or is actively transported into the tubule, which transports the wastes to the intestines.

Metabolic use of glucose is highly important as an energy source for muscle cells and in the brain, and red blood cells.

The institute is divided into six departments: Biological Chemistry, Cell & Developmental Biology, Computational & Systems Biology, Crop Genetics, Metabolic Biology and Molecular Microbiology.

Metabolic acidosis is a more reliable predictor, but is not always available.

* Metabolic Bone Disease or MBD is a nutritional deficiency due to the lack of calcium and vitamin D < sub > 3 </ sub > in their diet.

Metabolic influence is different from that of grazing animals due to the differences between ruminant versus monogastric digestive systems.

Metabolic alkalosis is often present in states of volume depletion, so potassium is also lost via aldosterone-mediated mechanisms.

“ Metabolic rate of fish is a measure of the rate of energy expenditure and is commonly estimated by measuring rate often expressed in units of oxygen consumed per unit weight of fish per unit time ”( Cooke 474 ).

Metabolic energy is derived aerobically by the oxidation of reduced inorganic sulfur compounds or ferrous ions.

Metabolic rate was expressed in energy per unit time, specifically calories per second.
