Basal metabolic rate

(Redirected fromMetabolic rate)

Basal metabolic rate(BMR) is the rate ofenergyexpenditure per unit time byendothermic animalsat rest.[1]It is reported in energy units per unit time ranging fromwatt(joule/second) to ml O2/min or joule per hour per kg body mass J/(h·kg). Proper measurement requires a strict set of criteria to be met. These criteria include being in a physically and psychologically undisturbed state and being in athermally neutral environmentwhile in the post-absorptive state(i.e., not activelydigestingfood).[1]Inbradymetabolicanimals, such asfishandreptiles,the equivalent termstandard metabolic rate(SMR) applies. It follows the same criteria as BMR, but requires the documentation of the temperature at which the metabolic rate was measured. This makes BMR a variant of standard metabolic rate measurement that excludes the temperature data, a practice that has led to problems in defining "standard" rates of metabolism for many mammals.[1]

Metabolism comprises the processes that the body needs to function.[2]Basal metabolic rate is the amount of energy per unit of time that a person needs to keep the body functioning at rest. Some of those processes arebreathing,blood circulation,controllingbody temperature,cell growth,brain and nerve function, andcontraction of muscles.Basal metabolic rate affects the rate that a person burns calories and ultimately whether that individual maintains, gains, or loses weight. The basal metabolic rate accounts for about 70% of the daily calorie expenditure by individuals. It is influenced by several factors. In humans, BMR typically declines by 1–2% per decade after age 20, mostly due to loss offat-free mass,[3]although the variability between individuals is high.[4]

Description

edit

The body's generation of heat is known asthermogenesisand it can be measured to determine the amount of energy expended. BMR generally decreases with age, and with the decrease inlean body mass(as may happen with aging). Increasing muscle mass has the effect of increasing BMR.Aerobic (resistance)fitness level, a product ofcardiovascular exercise,while previously thought to have effect on BMR, has been shown in the 1990s not to correlate with BMR when adjusted for fat-free body mass.[citation needed]Butanaerobic exercisedoes increase resting energy consumption (see "aerobic vs. anaerobic exercise").[5]Illness, previously consumed food and beverages, environmental temperature, and stress levels can affect one's overall energy expenditure as well as one's BMR.

BMR is measured under very restrictive circumstances when a person is awake. An accurate BMR measurement requires that the person'ssympathetic nervous systemnot be stimulated, a condition which requires complete rest. A more common measurement, which uses less strict criteria, isresting metabolic rate (RMR).[6]

BMR may be measured by gas analysis through either direct orindirect calorimetry,though a rough estimation can be acquired through an equation using age, sex, height, and weight. Studies of energymetabolismusing both methods provide convincing evidence for the validity of therespiratory quotient(RQ), which measures the inherent composition and utilization ofcarbohydrates,fatsandproteinsas they are converted to energy substrate units that can be used by the body as energy.

Phenotypic flexibility

edit

BMR is aflexible trait(it can be reversibly adjusted within individuals), with, for example, lower temperatures generally resulting in higher basal metabolic rates for both birds[7]and rodents.[8]There are two models to explain how BMR changes in response to temperature: the variable maximum model (VMM) and variable fraction model (VFM). The VMM states that the summit metabolism (or the maximum metabolic rate in response to the cold) increases during the winter, and that the sustained metabolism (or the metabolic rate that can be indefinitely sustained) remains a constant fraction of the former. The VFM says that the summit metabolism does not change, but that the sustained metabolism is a larger fraction of it. The VMM is supported in mammals, and, when using whole-body rates, passerine birds. The VFM is supported in studies of passerine birds using mass-specific metabolic rates (or metabolic rates per unit of mass). This latter measurement has been criticized by Eric Liknes, Sarah Scott, and David Swanson, who say that mass-specific metabolic rates are inconsistent seasonally.[9]

In addition to adjusting to temperature, BMR also may adjust before annual migration cycles.[7]Thered knot(ssp.islandica) increases its BMR by about 40% before migrating northward. This is because of the energetic demand of long-distance flights. The increase is likely primarily due to increased mass in organs related to flight.[10]The end destination of migrants affects their BMR:yellow-rumped warblersmigrating northward were found to have a 31% higher BMR than those migrating southward.[7]

In humans, BMR is directly proportional to a person'slean body mass.[11][12]In other words, the more lean body mass a person has, the higher their BMR; but BMR is also affected by acute illnesses and increases with conditions like burns, fractures, infections, fevers, etc.[12]In menstruating females, BMR varies to some extent with the phases of theirmenstrual cycle.Due to the increase inprogesterone,BMR rises at the start of theluteal phaseand stays at its highest until this phase ends. There are different findings in research how much of an increase usually occurs. Small sample, early studies, found various figures, such as; a 6% higher postovulatory sleep metabolism,[13]a 7% to 15% higher 24 hour expenditure following ovulation,[14]and an increase and a luteal phase BMR increase by up to 12%.[15][16]A study by the American Society of Clinical Nutrition found that an experimental group of female volunteers had an 11.5% average increase in 24 hour energy expenditure in the two weeks following ovulation, with a range of 8% to 16%. This group was measured via simultaneously direct and indirect calorimetry and had standardized daily meals and sedentary schedule in order to prevent the increase from being manipulated by change in food intake or activity level.[17]A 2011 study conducted by the Mandya Institute of Medical Sciences found that during a woman'sfollicular phaseandmenstrual cycleis no significant difference in BMR, however the calories burned per hour is significantly higher, up to 18%, during the luteal phase. Increased state anxiety (stress level) also temporarily increased BMR.[18]

Physiology

edit

The early work of the scientistsJ. Arthur Harrisand Francis G. Benedict showed that approximate values for BMR could be derived usingbody surface area(computed from height and weight), age, and sex, along with the oxygen and carbon dioxide measures taken from calorimetry. Studies also showed that by eliminating the sex differences that occur with the accumulation ofadipose tissueby expressing metabolic rate per unit of "fat-free" orlean body mass,the values between sexes for basal metabolism are essentially the same.Exercise physiologytextbooks have tables to show the conversion of height and body surface area as they relate to weight and basal metabolic values.

The primaryorganresponsible for regulating metabolism is thehypothalamus.The hypothalamus is located on thediencephalonand forms the floor and part of the lateral walls of the third ventricle of thecerebrum.The chief functions of the hypothalamus are:

  1. control and integration of activities of theautonomic nervous system(ANS)
    • The ANS regulates contraction of smooth muscle andcardiac muscle,along with secretions of many endocrine organs such as the thyroid gland (associated with many metabolic disorders).
    • Through the ANS, the hypothalamus is the main regulator of visceral activities, such as heart rate, movement of food through the gastrointestinal tract, and contraction of the urinary bladder.
  2. production and regulation of feelings of rage and aggression
  3. regulation of body temperature
  4. regulation of food intake, through two centers:
    • The feeding center or hunger center is responsible for the sensations that cause us to seek food. When sufficient food or substrates have been received andleptinis high, then the satiety center is stimulated and sends impulses that inhibit the feeding center. When insufficient food is present in the stomach andghrelinlevels are high, receptors in the hypothalamus initiate the sense of hunger.
    • The thirst center operates similarly when certain cells in the hypothalamus are stimulated by the risingosmotic pressureof the extracellular fluid. If thirst is satisfied, osmotic pressure decreases.

All of these functions taken together form a survival mechanism that causes us to sustain the body processes that BMR measures.

BMR estimation formulas

edit

Several equations to predict the number of calories required by humans have been published from the early 20th–21st centuries. In each of the formulas below:[19]

Pis total heat production at complete rest,
mis mass (kg),
his height (cm),
ais age (years).
The original Harris–Benedict equation

Historically, the most notable formula was theHarris–Benedict equation,which was published in 1919:[19]

for men,
for women,

The difference in BMR for men and women is mainly due to differences in body mass. For example, a 55-year-old woman weighing 130 pounds (59 kg) and 66 inches (168 cm) tall would have a BMR of 1,272 kilocalories (5,320 kJ) per day.

The revised Harris–Benedict equation

In 1984, the original Harris–Benedict equations were revised[20]using new data. In comparisons with actual expenditure, the revised equations were found to be more accurate:[21]

for men,
for women,

It was the best prediction equation until 1990, when Mifflinet al.[22]introduced the equation:

The Mifflin St Jeor equation

wheresis +5 for males and −161 for females.

According to this formula, the woman in the example above has a BMR of 1,204 kilocalories (5,040 kJ) per day. During the last 100 years, lifestyles have changed, and Frankenfieldet al.[23]showed it to be about 5% more accurate.

These formulas are based on body mass, which does not take into account the difference in metabolic activity betweenlean body massand body fat. Other formulas exist which take into account lean body mass, two of which are the Katch–McArdle formula and Cunningham formula.

The Katch–McArdle formula (resting daily energy expenditure)

The Katch–McArdle formula is used to predict resting daily energy expenditure (RDEE).[24] The Cunningham formula is commonly cited to predict RMR instead of BMR; however, the formulas provided by Katch–McArdle and Cunningham are the same.[25]

whereis the lean body mass (LBMin kg):

wherefis thebody fat percentage.

According to this formula, if the woman in the example has abody fat percentageof 30%, her resting daily energy expenditure (the authors use the term of basal and resting metabolism interchangeably) would be 1262 kcal per day.

Research on individual differences in BMR

edit

The basic metabolic rate varies between individuals. One study of 150 adults representative of the population in Scotland reported basal metabolic rates from as low as 1,027 kilocalories (4,300 kJ) per day to as high as 2,499 kilocalories (10,460 kJ), with a mean BMR of 1,500 kilocalories (6,300 kJ) per day. Statistically, the researchers calculated that 62% of this variation was explained by differences infat free mass.Other factors explaining the variation includedfat mass(7%), age (2%), andexperimental errorincluding within-subject difference (2%). The rest of the variation (27%) was unexplained. This remaining difference was not explained by sex nor by differing tissue size of highly energetic organs such as the brain.[26]

A cross-sectional study of more than 1400 subjects in Europe and the US showed that once adjusted for differences in body composition (lean and fat mass) and age, BMR has fallen over the past 35 years.[27]The decline was also observed in ameta-analysisof more than 150 studies dating back to the early 1920s, translating into a decline in total energy expenditure of about 6%.[27]

Biochemistry

Energy expenditure breakdown[28]
Liver 27%
Brain 19%
Skeletal muscle 18%
Kidneys 10%
Heart 7%
Otherorgans 19%
Postprandial thermogenesisincreases in basal metabolic rate occur at different degrees depending on consumed food composition.

About 70% of a human's total energy expenditure is due to the basal life processes taking place in the organs of the body (see table). About 20% of one's energy expenditure comes from physical activity and another 10% fromthermogenesis,or digestion of food (postprandial thermogenesis).[29]All of these processes require an intake of oxygen along with coenzymes to provide energy for survival (usually from macronutrients like carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) and expel carbon dioxide, due to processing by theKrebs cycle.

For the BMR, most of the energy is consumed in maintaining fluid levels in tissues throughosmoregulation,and only about one-tenth is consumed formechanical work,such as digestion, heartbeat, and breathing.[30]

What enables the Krebs cycle to perform metabolic changes to fats, carbohydrates, and proteins is energy, which can be defined as the ability or capacity to do work. The breakdown of large molecules into smaller molecules—associated with release of energy—is catabolism. The building up process is termed anabolism. The breakdown of proteins into amino acids is an example of catabolism, while the formation of proteins from amino acids is an anabolic process.

Exergonic reactionsare energy-releasing reactions and are generally catabolic. Endergonic reactions require energy and include anabolic reactions and the contraction of muscle. Metabolism is the total of all catabolic, exergonic, anabolic, and endergonic reactions.

Adenosine triphosphate(ATP) is the intermediate molecule that drives the exergonic transfer of energy to switch to endergonic anabolic reactions used in muscle contraction. This is what causes muscles to work which can require a breakdown, and also to build in the rest period, which occurs during the strengthening phase associated with muscular contraction. ATP is composed of adenine, a nitrogen containing base, ribose, a five carbon sugar (collectively called adenosine), and three phosphate groups. ATP is a high energy molecule because it stores large amounts of energy in the chemical bonds of the two terminal phosphate groups. The breaking of these chemical bonds in the Krebs Cycle provides the energy needed for muscular contraction.

Glucose

edit

Because the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen atoms in all carbohydrates is always the same as that in water—that is, 2 to 1—all of the oxygen consumed by the cells is used to oxidize the carbon in the carbohydrate molecule to form carbon dioxide. Consequently, during the completeoxidationof a glucose molecule, six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water are produced and six molecules of oxygen are consumed.

The overall equation for this reaction is

(30–32 ATP molecules produced depending on type of mitochondrial shuttle, 5–5.33 ATP molecules per molecule of oxygen.)

Because the gas exchange in this reaction is equal, therespiratory quotient(R.Q.) for carbohydrate is unity or 1.0:

Fats

edit

The chemical composition for fats differs from that of carbohydrates in that fats contain considerably fewer oxygen atoms in proportion to atoms of carbon and hydrogen. When listed on nutritional information tables, fats are generally divided into six categories: total fats,saturated fatty acid,polyunsaturated fatty acid,monounsaturated fatty acid,dietarycholesterol,andtrans fatty acid.From a basal metabolic or resting metabolic perspective, more energy is needed to burn a saturated fatty acid than an unsaturated fatty acid. The fatty acid molecule is broken down and categorized based on the number of carbon atoms in its molecular structure. The chemical equation for metabolism of the twelve to sixteen carbon atoms in a saturated fatty acid molecule shows the difference between metabolism of carbohydrates and fatty acids.Palmitic acidis a commonly studied example of the saturated fatty acid molecule.

The overall equation for the substrate utilization of palmitic acid is

(106 ATP molecules produced, 4.61 ATP molecules per molecule of oxygen.)

Thus the R.Q. for palmitic acid is 0.696:

Proteins

edit

Proteins are composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen arranged in a variety of ways to form a large combination ofamino acids.Unlike fat the body has no storage deposits of protein. All of it is contained in the body as important parts of tissues, blood hormones, and enzymes. The structural components of the body that contain these amino acids are continually undergoing a process of breakdown and replacement. The respiratory quotient for protein metabolism can be demonstrated by the chemical equation for oxidation of albumin:

The R.Q. for albumin is 0.818:

The reason this is important in the process of understanding protein metabolism is that the body can blend the three macronutrients and based on the mitochondrial density, a preferred ratio can be established which determines how much fuel is utilized in which packets for work accomplished by the muscles. Protein catabolism (breakdown) has been estimated to supply 10% to 15% of the total energy requirement during a two-hour aerobic training session. This process could severely degrade the protein structures needed to maintain survival such as contractile properties of proteins in the heart, cellular mitochondria, myoglobin storage, and metabolic enzymes within muscles.

The oxidative system (aerobic) is the primary source of ATP supplied to the body at rest and during low intensity activities and uses primarily carbohydrates and fats as substrates. Protein is not normally metabolized significantly, except during long term starvation and long bouts of exercise (greater than 90 minutes.) At rest approximately 70% of the ATP produced is derived from fats and 30% from carbohydrates. Following the onset of activity, as the intensity of the exercise increases, there is a shift in substrate preference from fats to carbohydrates. During high intensity aerobic exercise, almost 100% of the energy is derived from carbohydrates, if an adequate supply is available.

Aerobic vs. anaerobic exercise

edit

Studies published in 1992[31]and 1997[32]indicate that the level ofaerobicfitness of an individual does not have any correlation with the level of resting metabolism. Both studies find that aerobic fitness levels do not improve the predictive power of fat free mass for resting metabolic rate.

However, recent research from theJournal of Applied Physiology,published in 2012,[33]comparedresistance trainingandaerobic trainingon body mass and fat mass in overweight adults (STRRIDE AT/RT). When time commitment is evaluated against health benefit, aerobic training is the optimal mode of exercise for reducing fat mass and body mass as a primary consideration, and resistance training is good as a secondary factor when aging and lean mass are a concern. Resistance training causes injuries at a much higher rate than aerobic training.[33]Compared to resistance training, it was found that aerobic training resulted in a significantly more pronounced reduction of body weight by enhancing the cardiovascular system which is what is the principal factor in metabolic utilization of fat substrates. Resistance training if time is available is also helpful in post-exercise metabolism, but it is an adjunctive factor because the body needs to heal sufficiently between resistance training episodes, whereas the body can accept aerobic training every day. RMR and BMR are measurements of daily consumption of calories.[34][33]The majority of studies that are published on this topic look at aerobic exercise because of its efficacy for health and weight management.

Anaerobic exercise,such asweight lifting,builds additional muscle mass. Muscle contributes to the fat-free mass of an individual and therefore effective results from anaerobic exercise will increase BMR.[35]However, the actual effect on BMR is controversial and difficult to enumerate. Various studies[36][37]suggest that the resting metabolic rate of trained muscle is around 55 kJ/kg per day; it then follows that even a substantial increase in musclemass — say5 kg — would make only a minor impact on BMR.

Longevity

edit

In 1926,Raymond Pearlproposed thatlongevityvaries inversely with basal metabolic rate (the "rate of living hypothesis" ). Support for this hypothesis comes from the fact that mammals with larger body size have longermaximum life spans(large animals do have higher total metabolic rates, but the metabolic rate at the cellular level is much lower, and the breathing rate and heartbeat are slower in larger animals) and the fact that the longevity offruit fliesvaries inversely with ambienttemperature.[38]Additionally, the life span of houseflies can be extended by preventing physical activity.[39]This theory has been bolstered by several new studies linking lower basal metabolic rate to increased life expectancy, across the animal kingdom—including humans.Calorie restrictionand reduced thyroid hormone levels, both of which decrease the metabolic rate, have been associated with higher longevity in animals.[40][41][42][43][unreliable medical source?]

However, the ratio of total dailyenergyexpenditure to resting metabolic rate can vary between 1.6 and 8.0 between species ofmammals.Animals also vary in the degree ofcoupling between oxidative phosphorylation and ATP production,the amount ofsaturated fatin mitochondrialmembranes,the amount ofDNA repair,and many other factors that affect maximum life span.[44]

One problem with understanding the associations of lifespan and metabolism is that changes in metabolism are often confounded by other factors that may affect lifespan. For example under calorie restriction whole body metabolic rate goes down with increasing levels of restriction, but body temperature also follows the same pattern. By manipulating the ambient temperature and exposure to wind it was shown in mice and hamsters that body temperature is a more important modulator of lifespan than metabolic rate.[45]

Medical considerations

edit

A person's metabolism varies with their physical condition and activity.Weight trainingcan have a longer impact on metabolism thanaerobic training,but there are no known mathematical formulas that can exactly predict the length and duration of a raised metabolism from trophic changes with anabolic neuromuscular training.

A decrease in food intake will typically lower the metabolic rate as the body tries to conserve energy.[46]Researcher Gary Foster estimates that avery low calorie dietof fewer than 800 calories a day would reduce the metabolic rate by more than 10 percent.[47]

The metabolic rate can be affected by some drugs:antithyroid agents(drugs used to treathyper­thyroid­ism) such aspropylthiouracilandmethimazolebring the metabolic rate down to normal, restoringeuthyroidism.[citation needed]Some research[which?]has focused on developing antiobesity drugs to raise the metabolic rate, such as drugs to stimulatethermogenesisinskeletal muscle.[citation needed]

The metabolic rate may be elevated instress,illness,anddiabetes.Menopausemay also affect metabolism.[48]
