Energy Expenditure kcal/kg/min

Consumed life support power. The average energy expended on life support is 2300 kcal for a person weighing 70 kg per day. The consumed life support power is provided by changes in free energy during complete combustion of 1 mole of palmitic acid and is 2338 kcal. The energy-rich phosphate bond is characterized by a value of 7.6 kcal/mol. Thus, with complete oxidation of one molecule of palmitic acid there are 130 molecules of ATP. When recalculated per kilogram of weight, this value varies from 1 kcal/kg/min to 20 and higher. This is due to the saturation of arterial blood with oxygen, the ability of haemoglobin to bind and release oxygen to tissues.
