Organ-Tissue Level Model of Resting Energy Expenditure Across Mammals: New Insights into Kleiber's Law
Figure 3
The ratio of resting energy expenditure to body mass (i.e., in kcal/kg per day) predicted by the organ-tissue level model (8) on the ordinate versus body mass (M, in kg) on the abscissa across 111 mammalian species. Both and M are shown on a logarithmic scale. The and M are significantly correlated: = 66.33 × ; .
