Here, we capitalize on the fact that bird red blood cells (RBCs) possess functional mitochondria to describe a minimally invasive approach to study mitochondrial function, using blood samples.In the king penguin, we present a protocol, using a high-resolution respirometry system and specific ...
The numbers on the main cylinder measure the amount of air you breathe in and how long you can hold a breath. Deeper breaths make it go higher. Another gauge on the device measures whether you're breathing at the right rate.
Peak flow metertestsmeasure how well your lungs push out air. Although they are less accurate than spirometry, these lung function tests can be a good way to regularly test your lung function at home -- even before you feel any symptoms. A peak flow meter can help you know what makes yo...
Taking spirometry tests is a good way to measure lung function. Spirometry is the most common type of pulmonary function or breathing test. This test measures how much air you can breathe in and out of your lungs, as well as how easily and fast you can blow the air out of your lungs....
Using a temperature probe to measure the heat released through vasodilated capillaries during exercise. Image Students use a temperature probe to record real data from their volunteer, showing how body temperature changes after exercise. As an educator, you can extend this by discussing how homeostati...
which is more difficult to measure, may be much greater. Moreover, one of the other difficulties experienced by families is that once they are ‘out of the system’, it is hard to get back in to mobilise the resources required quickly. As a minimum, parents of high risk children, health...
Many telehealth systems have been designed to identify signs of exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but few previous studies have reported the nature of recorded lung function data and what variations to expect in

Two tests measure your breathing. One is a spirometry test, which uses a device to measure how much and how quickly you can exhale after taking in a big breath. The other test uses a peak flow meter to measure how hard you can breathe out. This test is also used to track changes in...
Regarding metabolism, beyond monitoring whole animal metabolic changes in real time, there have been very few tools to assess live metabolism at a cellular level. Although very useful tools do exist to measure the metabolic efficiency of cells (i.e., mitochondrial respiratory capacity measurements),...
