I had published a paper on estimating organ and whole metabolic rates of 114 species just using Wang's allometry based data on SOrMR (specific organ metabolic rates, W/kg) of vital organs of two species: Shrew of 8 g and Rat (Wistar) of 390 g .Article Secrets of Kleiber’s and Maximum Metabolic Rate Allometries ...
But I need experimental data on SOrMR of vital organs of both of above species?
Wang dt albused experimental data on metabolic rates of vital organs of 6 species (including rat) in developing empirical allometric relations. Then they then extended same organ allometric relations all the way to organs iv Shrew ( lowest body mass) and elephant ( largest body mass) and demonstrated Kleiber’s law. My article used data for only two species: Rat and Shrew . Then adopting relations from engineering literature extended them from Shrew to Elephant. Surprise: Kleiber’s law
Prev. reply contains a few spelling errors. I had revised it. Wang et al used experimental data on metabolic rates of vital organs of 6 species (including rat) in developing empirical allometric relations. Then they then extended same organ allometric relations (ORMR) all the way to organs of 114 species, extended the fit to Shrew ( lowest body mass) and elephant (largest body mass), used known organ masses and demonstrated Kleiber’s law. My article used data for only two species: Rat and Shrew . But for ORMR of shrew I used Wang's correlation and assumed that all cells within organs of Shrew undergo metabolism without O2 deficiency. Then I adopted relations from engineering literature for the effect of organ masses on ORMR of 112 species extended them from Shrew to Elephant. Surprise: Kleiber’s law
Wang had presented SOrMR of vital organs for rat; but only limited data for Shrew.
