Combining accelerometry with allometry for estimating daily energy expenditure in joules when in-lab calibration is unavailable

Background All behaviour requires energy, and measuring energy expenditure in standard units (joules) is key to linking behaviour to ecological processes. Animal-borne accelerometers are commonly used to infer proxies of energy expenditure, termed 'dynamic ...

Band-of-Interest-based Channel Impulse Response Fusion for Breathing Rate Estimation with UWB

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Sitian Li

The channel impulse response (CIR) obtained from the channel estimation step of various wireless systems is a widely used source of information in wireless sensing. Breathing rate is one of the important vital signs that can be retrieved from the CIR. Rece ...

Inter- and intra-individual variability in CO2 production and metabolic rate

Dolaana Khovalyg, Mohamad Rida

Carbon dioxide generated by the human body and exhaled (VCO2) is commonly used for ventilation controls, while the metabolic rate (i.e., energy expenditure EE) is an important parameter defining human thermal comfort in buildings. These two parameters are ...

Dynamics of metabolic rate in male individuals due to the meal and regular office activities

Dolaana Khovalyg, Jiyoung Kwak

Metabolic rate is one of the main parameters affecting the thermal balance of the human body and perception of thermal comfort. Typically, we consider a constant value for a specific type of activity (sitting quiet, standing, etc.) despite the time of the ...

SIRT7 suppresses energy expenditure and thermogenesis by regulating brown adipose tissue functions in mice

Johan Auwerx

Brown adipose tissue plays a central role in the regulation of the energy balance by expending energy to produce heat. NAD(+)-dependent deacylase sirtuins have widely been recognized as positive regulators of brown adipose tissue thermogenesis. However, he ...

Nicotinamide riboside supplementation alters body composition and skeletal muscle acetylcarnitine concentrations in healthy obese humans

Johan Auwerx, Richardus Houtkooper

Background: Nicotinamide riboside (NR) is an NAD(+) precursor that boosts cellular NAD(+) concentrations. Preclinical studies have shown profound metabolic health effects after NR supplementation. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the effects of 6 wk NR ...

Transient vitamin B5 starving improves mammalian cell homeostasis and protein production

Nicolas Mermod

Maintaining a metabolic steady state is essential for an organism's fitness and survival when confronted with environmental stress, and metabolic imbalance can be reversed by exposing the organism to fasting. Here, we attempted to apply this physiological ...
