Subjects were tested for oxygen uptake kinetics by pedaling a stationary bike at a constant rate for six minutes, and then for exercise capacity by pedaling at 50 percent of their predicted maximum workload for one minute, then increasing output by 25 percent each additional minute until exhaustion, usually after 8 to 12 minutes.
Dyspnea intensity was greater in the CD group at peak exercise and for a given ventilation and oxygen uptake (P < 0.
Naphthoquinones blocked oxygen uptake and induced cyanide-insensitive oxygen consumption.
Biomass growth, xanthan production, oxygen uptake (using the dynamic technique) and power consumption were measured for each fermentation run.
In the present study oxygen uptake measurements were carried out in order to investigate the biodegradability of phenol and different methyl-, dimethyl- and hydroxyphenols by activated sludge adapted for the processing of phenolic wastewater from oil shale chemical industry.
