RQ(Respiratory Quotient) value is obtained from the ratio of the consumed oxygen and the produced carbon dioxide during the patient's respiration. To investigate the efficacy of insulin and diagnosis the metabolic disorder in short time, the RQ value can be used as important parameter. The measurement of oxygen and carbon dioxide amounts is needed large chamber and complex sensors. But If the atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations do not change, the expiratory oxygen and carbon dioxide can be used to obtain RQ value. A convenient RQ measuring device has been developed by using two sensors for O2 and CO2. The estimation of RQ devices confirms that the RQ device can obtain accurate data by eliminating uncertain factor such as delay time and remaining gases.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The anti-obesity effect of quercetin-rich onion peel extract (OPE) was suggested in rats, but information from human studies is limited. This study aimed to investigate the effects of OPE on the body composition of overweight and obese subjects. MATERIALS/METHODS: In this 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, parallel clinical trials were performed in overweight and obese Korean subjects. Randomly assigned subjects were instructed to take daily either the placebo (male, 6 and female, 30) or OPE capsules containing 100 mg of quercetin (male, 5 and female, 31). Body composition was measured by using bioimpedance and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Resting energy expenditure (REE) and respiratory quotient (RQ) were evaluated by using indirect calorie measurement methods. Fasting blood levels of glucose, insulin, lipids, and leptin were determined. RESULTS: Quercetin-rich OPE supplementation significantly reduced the weight and percentage of body fat as measured by DXA (P = 0.02). These effects were not shown in the control group. Levels of blood glucose (P = 0.04) and leptin (P = 0.001 for placebo, P = 0.002 for OPE) decreased in both groups. Significant increases in REE and RQ were observed in both groups (P = 0.003 for placebo, P = 0.006 for OPE) and in the OPE group alone (P = 0.02), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Quercetin-rich OPE supplementation changed the body composition of the overweight and obese subjects. This result suggests a beneficial role of the anti-obesity effect of OPE human subjects.

연구배경 : 혈중 유산농도를 측정함으로써 결정되는 무산소역치(유산역치)는 관혈적이라는 제한점이 있어, 운동부하시 유산증가에 수반되는 환기적부하에 반응하는 여러환기지표에서 비관혈적으로 무산소역치 (환기성역치)를 측정하는 방법들이 제시되어 있고, 이들에는 환기 당량법, 종말호기 산소분압법, V-경사법, 호흡지수법 등이 알려져 있다. 무산소역치를 반영하는 환기성 역치의 타당도에 관하여 논란이 없는 것은 아니지만, 일관성있는 방법적 신뢰도가 유효하다면 운동능력 평가에 있어서 환기성역치의 유용성이 인정된다는 일반적인 의견이다. 그러나 이미 환기장애가 초래되어 있는 만성기도폐쇄를 보이는 환자에서는 운동증가에 따르는 유산증가에 대처하는 환기반응이 적절하지 못하므로 환기성역치가 무산소역치를 반영하지 못한다는 지적이 었다. 만성기포폐쇄를 보이는 환자에서 상기한 네가지 환기성역치 측정방법들의 역치검출율과 신뢰도를 확인하기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 12명의 정상대조군과 17명의 만성기도폐쇄 환자군을 대상으로 증상제한적 최대운동부하검사(정상군 : 25 W/min, 만성기도폐쇄군 10 W/min)를 실시한 후 환기당량법, 종말호기산소분압법, V-경사법, 호흡지수법 등에 의해 환기성역치를 구한 후 상관계수를 구하여 유의성을 검증하였다. 결 과 : 각 환기성역치 측정방법에 의한 역치 검출율은 정상대조군에서 호흡지수법이 100%, 환기당량법과 종말호기 산소분압법이 91.7%로 같은 빈도를 보였고, V-경사법은 83.3%의 빈도를 보여 점반적으로 비교적 높은 빈도의 검출율을 보인 반면, 만성기도폐쇄군에서 호흡지수법이 94.1%로 가장 높았으나 환기당량법과 종말호기 산소분압법이 64.7%의 같은 검출빈도로 정상대조군에 비해 현저히 감소되었고, V-경사법은 83.3%로 정상대조군과 검출율에 있으서 같은 빈도를 보였다. 각 환기성역치 측정방법들의 유의성을 검증한 결과 정상대조군에서는 호흡지수법을 제외한 환기당량법과 종말호기 산소분압법, 그리고 V-경사법 등간에 모두 유의한 상관관계를 보인 반면 만성기도폐쇄군애서는 환기당량법과 종말호기 산소분압법사이에서만 상관계수가 0.9860으로 정상대조군에서처럼 매우 높은 일치도를 보였고 나머지 방법들간에는 그 어느 조합도 유의한 상관관계를 확인할 수 없었다. 결 론 : 호흡지수법은 매우 예민하지만 신뢰성이 떨어지는 방법이고, 환기당량법과 종말호기 산소분압법은 거의 유사한 방법이며, 환기능이 정상인 사람에서는 환기성역치 측정이 무산소역치를 반영하는 유용성이 었다고 판단되지만 만성기도폐쇄 환자에서는 그 유용성이 떨어진다고 생각된다.

팽이버섯은 타 작물에 비해 수확 후 호흡률이 높아 갈변, 경도감소, 부패 등이 수확 즉시 진행되는 작물이다. 이러한 팽이버섯을 장기간 유통하기 위해 가장 많이 적용되는 방법은 진공 포장하여 저온 저장하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 팽이버섯의 포장 후 유통기간을 연장에 더욱 적합한 진공필름을 선발하기 위해 $20{\mu}m$두께의 PE+PP, OPP 및 LDPE 필름으로 진공 포장하여 유통온도인 $10^{\circ}C$의 저온에서 2주간 저장하였다. 일반적으로 많이 적용되는 LDPE 필름이 갈변, 줄기신장, 호흡률 급변, 조직 연화와 같은 변질이 포장 후 7일 이내로 가장 빠르게 진행되었다. 또한 OPP 필름보다 PE+PP가 수일 더 일찍 해체되기 시작하여 갈변 현상이 먼저 발생하였다. 최종적으로 OPP 필름이 안정된 호흡률과 외부색도, 신장억제 현상이 유지되어 LDPE 필름 포장군의 저장 7일차에 발생된 부패율보다 7일이 지연된 저장 14일차에 나타났다.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the ad libitum and restricted feeding regimen on fasting heat production (FHP) and body composition. Methods: Twelve Hubbard broilers breeders were selected with the same body weight and submitted in two feeding regimes: Restricted (T1) with feed intake of 150 g/bird/d and ad libitum (T2). The birds were randomly distributed on the treatments in two runs with three replications per treatment (per run). The birds were adapted to the feed regimens for ten days. After that, they were allocated in the open-circuit chambers and kept for three days for adaptation. On the last day, oxygen consumption (VO₂) and carbon dioxide production (VCO₂) were measured by 30 h under fasting. The respiratory quotient (RQ) was calculated as the VCO₂/VO₂ ratio, and the heat production (HP) was obtained using the Brower equation (1985). The FHP was estimated throughout the plateau of HP 12 hours after the feed deprivation. The body composition was analyzed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scanning at the end of each period. Data were analyzed for one-way analysis of variance using the Minitab software. Results: The daily feed intake was 30 g higher to T2 (p<0.01) than the T1. Also, the birds of the T2 had significatively (p<0.05) more oxygen consumption (+3.1 L/kg^0.75/d) and CO₂ production (+2.2 L/kg^0.75/d). That resulted in a higher FHP 359±14 kJ/kg^0.75/d for T2 than T1 296±17.23 kJ/kg^0.75/d. In contrast, the RQ was not different between treatments, with an average of 0.77 for the fasting condition. In addition, protein and fat composition were not affected by the treatment, while a tendency (p<0.1) was shown to higher bone mineral content on the T1. Conclusion: The birds under ad libitum feeding had a higher maintenance energy requirement but their body composition was not affected compared to restricted feeding.

The aim of this study was to investigate influence of body build on body composition, energy metabolic state and insulin concentration of blood. 29 male athletes and 36 male non-athletic students were recruited for the study. Anthropometry including chest depth and breadth, fat mass, fat fee mass, tricep skinfold thickness were measured. fasting glucose, lactate, triglyceride, fee fatty acid, and insulin concentration in serum were measured . Body build was assessed using metric index, which calculated by regression equations of Mohr and Greil. The athletic and non-athletic students were allocated to 3 body build, that is leptomorph, mesomorph, and pyknomorph. Resting metabolic rate was calculated. Respiratory quotient was determined through ratio of measured VO$_2$, and V$CO_2$. Most non-athletes have a leptomorphic body build, in contrast to athletes mesomorphic type. The body build type influenced body composition differently between non-athletic group and athletic group. Weight, body mass index, body fat mass and fat mass proportion (%), and fat-free mass increased from leptomorph to pyknormorph in non-athletic group. Pyknormorphic athletes have a significant higher body mass index, fat mass, fat free mass than other body build type. Serum glucose, triglyceride, lactate, insulin showed significant differences only in non-athletic group between leptomorph and mesomorph. RMR increased significantly from leptomorph to mesomorph in non-athletes. There was no significant difference of RQ among 3 body build types in both athletes and non-athletes. This study gives a coherent data on body build and body composition for athletes and non-athletes students. The influence of body builds on energy metabolic status of serum was different between athletes and non-athletes.

An experiment was carried out to assess the effects of xylanase supplementation on the performance, net energy and gut microflora of broilers fed a wheat-based diet. Day-old male broiler chicks were allocated to two dietary treatments. Each treatment was composed of six replicate cages of seven broilers per cage. The diets were wheat-based and offered as mash. The treatments included i) basal diet deficient in metabolizable energy; and ii) basal diet supplemented with a commercial xylanase added at 4,000 U/kg feed. Bird performance, nutrient utilization and gut microbial populations were measured. Heat production and net energy were determined using an auto-control, open circuit respiration calorimetry apparatus. Results showed that exogenous xylanase supplementation improved feed conversion efficiency (p<0.05) and increased diet AME (+4.2%; p<0.05), as well as heat production (HP), net energy for production (NEp), production of $CO_2$, and consumption of $O_2$. The respiratory quotient (RQ) was also increased (p<0.01) by the addition of xylanase. NEp value was increased by 26.1% while daily heat production per kg metabolizable body weight was decreased by 26.2% when the xylanase was added. Xylanase supplementation numerically increased the ileal digestibility of protein and energy by 3 and 6 percentage units respectively (p>0.05). The ileal digestibility of hemicellulose was significantly improved by xylanase addition (p<0.05).
