Allometric scaling of the maximum metabolic rate of mammals: oxygen transport from the lungs to the heart is a limiting step

BACKGROUND: The maximum metabolic rate (MMR) of mammals is approximately proportional to M(0.9), where M is the mammal's body weight. Therefore, MMR increases with body weight faster than does the basal metabolic rate (BMR), which is approximately proportional to M(0.7). MMR is strongly associa...
