Page 150 - Variations in build are not to be accounted for merely by variations in intake and out-go of calories, but also by the endogenous factors that determine the "economy of nutrition" or the cost in energy of adding an additional kilogram of weight to the body. The factors involved in producing differences in these respects are hereditary factors.

The factors involved in producing differences in these respects are hereditary factors. The hereditary factors probably work through the intermediacy of special organs that influence metabolism, notably the endocrine glands. The latter thus intermediate between the chromosomal constitution, on the one hand, and control of metabolir processes, on the other.

During each of the three winters covered by the investigation, four experiments were made on each animal by means of the respiration calorimeter in order to determine the percentage availability of the energy of the feeds consumed. During the first winter, that of 1905, the feeding stuffs used differed from those employed during the ordinary feeding. In the succeeding two winters, the grain feeds used were the same, only the amounts differing. The respiration calorimeter experiments,...
