End Date: Jun 30, 2022
Objective:
The objectives of this research are to: 1) compare a portable respiratory gas
monitoring system to observations made in a stationary room sized calorimeter, and 2) further develop a metabolic fuel model useful for identifying the relationship of various metabolic measure to whole body glucose regulation and subsequent body health outcomes.
Approach:
Calorimeter measurements will be made in the USDA Room Sized Calorimeter (RC) with simultaneously collected data from 1) a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM), 2) “Carbon dioxide/Oxygen Breath and Respiration Analyzer (COBRA)”, and 3) a “Real-Time Physiological Status Monitoring (RT-PSM) system named OBAN (Open Body Area Network). These data will be used to compare stationary and portable methodolgies. Real time metabolic data will be used for the further development of a metabolic fuel model useful for identifying the relationship of various metabolic measures to whole body glucose regulation and subsequent body health outcomes.
