Summary
At the first Symposium on Energy Metabolism a small committee (K. L. Blaxter, Scotland; K. Nehring, Germany (DDR); W. Wöhlbier, Germany (DBR); E. Brouwer, Netherlands) was appointed to consider and to recommend constants and factors to be used in calculations of energy metabolism. After studying the problem a provisional set of constants and factors was sent for criticism to the participants of the symposium. No objections were raised. The committee therefore considers its main task to be finished and makes the following recommendations.
