Basal respiration
Description
Basal respiration or 'basal metabolic rate' (BMR) is the minimal rate of metabolism required to support basic body functions, measured at rest 12 to 14 hours after eating. The term metabolic 'rate' is frequently used for metabolic flux (oxygen flux). Metabolic flux is a system size-specific quantity expressed per kg body weight or per surface area of the body.
Abbreviation: BMR
