Data from necropsy studies and in vitro tissue studies lead to a model for allometric scaling of basal metabolic rate

BACKGROUND: The basal metabolic rate (BMR) of a mammal of mass M is commonly described by the power function αM(β )where α and β are constants determined by linear regression of the logarithm of BMR on the logarithm of M (i. e., β is the slope and α is the intercept in regression analysis). Since Kl...
