Service Providers for Calory Function Tests
Calorimetry tests, or calorie function tests, are used to measure the metabolic rate and the energy expenditure of the body. These tests assess how much energy the body uses at rest or during activity, providing insights into the functioning of the metabolic system. There are two main types:
Indirect Calorimetry: Measures oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production to estimate energy expenditure. It's often used in clinical settings to assess metabolic conditions or to monitor patients' nutritional needs.
Direct Calorimetry: Measures heat production from the body in a controlled environment. This method is more accurate but less commonly used due to its complexity and cost.
These tests can help diagnose metabolic disorders, assess nutritional status, or determine energy requirements for weight management or recovery after illness.
