J. J. C, March 4, 1910

Following the ingestion of 145 grams of maltose-dextrose mixture and the juice of one lemon, with a total energy value of 449 calories, positive increases were found for the carbon-dioxide production in all of the periods and an increment in both the oxygen consumption and the heat production in the first three periods. (See table 109.) With this subject it is clearly evident from the general picture that this amount of maltose-dextrose mixture produced a positive increase above the basal metabolism. Although the respiratory quotient in the first two periods was unusually low. it rose until in the fourth period it was slightly over 1.

Table 109. - J. J. C., March 4, 1910. Sitting. (1-Hour Periods). Maltose-Dextrose Mixture1

Amounts, 145 grams maltose-dextrose mixture, juice of one lemon; energy, 449 cals.; from carbohydrates, 100 p. ct. Basal values (March 4, 1910): CO2, 26.0 grams; O2, 22.0 grams; heat (computed), 74 cals.; respiratory quotient, 0.86. Nitrogen in urine, 0.47 gram per hour.

1Subject finished drinking solution (333 grams) in 17 minutes after the beginning of this period.

The drinking occupied 4 minutes. 2Sample included amount for about 1 hour preceding the taking of maltose-dextrose mixture.
