The organically farmed soils had a significantly lower qCO2 metabolic quotient, indicating that the microbial biomass in the organically farmed soils was 94.7% more efficient or under less stress than in the conventionally farmed soils [40].
The metabolic profile of Snord116del mice showed decreased fat utilization, which is consistent with their elevated plasma ghrelin levels, as ghrelin administration in rodents leads to an increased respiratory quotient indicating less fat usage [54].
These mice also had a lower respiratory quotient, indicating decreased utilization of carbohydrates as fuel.
Only treatment with a green mate extract changed the respiratory quotient, indicating a rise in the proportion of oxidized fat that might have led to decreased body fat.
Comparison of the relative intensities of the target amplicons in the test individual and a control individual results in a dosage quotient, indicating the copy number of the CNV in the test sample.
In contrast, others [ 27] have reported an increase in respiratory quotient, indicating a shift in nutrient utilization away from fatty acids toward carbohydrates, after 12 weeks of olanzapine therapy, suggesting that this decrease in fatty acid oxidation may be associated with olanzapine-induced fat deposition and weight gain.
The relative frequency is a normalized quotient that indicates how often a k-mer occurs in one chromosome compared with another (see Materials and Methods).
The results of hazard quotient (HQ) indicated that there was no obvious adverse health effect for children and adults.
Target hazard quotient (THQ), indicate the ratio between exposure and the reference dose, and calculations were made using the standard assumption for an integrate US-EPA risk analysis.
Fragmenting sleep for two consecutive nights lead to an increase in the respiratory quotient (RQ), indicating a shift from fat toward carbohydrate oxidation, without affecting total EE 125 (Table 1).
