Organ-Tissue Level Model of Resting Energy Expenditure Across Mammals: New Insights into Kleiber's Law
Figure 2
The resting energy expenditure (, in kcal/d) calculated by Kleiber’s law (1) on the ordinate versus the resting energy expenditure (, in kcal/d) predicted by the organ-tissue level model (7) on the abscissa across 111 mammalian species. Both and are shown on a logarithmic scale. The and are significantly correlated: = 1.0644 × ; . The line of identity is shown.
