title: Energy production per circulatory cycle: a constant in resting land vertebrates?
abstract: Correcting for differences in blood flow, resting alligators, caimans, lizards, turtles, rats and dogs deaminated amino acids at the same rate. Each produced about 21 calories/kg during one complete circulatory revolution, irrespective of body temperature, size or species. Uniform O2 and substrate A-V differences are responsible for the phenomenon.
