Organ-Tissue Level Model of Resting Energy Expenditure Across Mammals: New Insights into Kleiber's Law
Figure 4
The ratio of resting energy expenditure to body mass (i.e., , in kcal/kg per day) calculated by Kleiber’s law (2) on the ordinates versus the ratio of resting energy expenditure to body mass (i.e., , in kcal/kg per day) predicted by (8) 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.
