The first factor is our basal metabolic rate, or BMR.

第一就是基础代谢，也就是 BMR。

Humans and all other animals have what's called a basal metabolic rate.

人类和所有其他动物都有所谓的基础代谢。

A bat in flight elevates its basal metabolic rate up to 15 fold.

飞行中的蝙蝠将其基础代谢提高了 15 倍。

In other words, whenever AEE increased, one's basal metabolic rate dropped, thus leading to an energy compensation.

换句话说，当 AEE 增加时，一人的基础代谢下降，从而导致能量补偿。

And same thing for basal metabolic rate when they do indirect calimetry.

当他们进行间接校准时，基础代谢也是如此。

We burn calories just for being alive, commonly known as our basal metabolic rate, BMR, which is all the calories expended during rest.

我们燃烧卡路里是为了生存，通常被称为我们的基础代谢，BMR，即休息时消耗的所有卡路里。

Unless you're a professional athlete, most of our calorie expenditure is accounted for by our basal metabolic rate.

除非你是一名职业运动员，否则我们的大部分卡路里消耗都是由我们的基础代谢决定的。

The functional significance of individual variation in basal metabolic rate.

基础代谢异的功能意义。

What about the basal metabolic rate?

基础代谢呢？

How much energy gets stored depends partly on your basal metabolic rate -- that's the number of daily calories your body needs to do business as usual.

储存多少能量部分取决于你的基础代谢——这是你的身照常工作所需的每日卡路里数量。

The amount of energy that we use to perform these subconscious tasks is called our basal metabolic rate (or BMR).

我们用来执行这些无意识任务的能量被称为基础代谢（或BMR）。

T3 speeds up the cells basal metabolic rate, so as an example the cell might produce more proteins and burn up more energy in the form of sugars and fats.

T3可以提升细胞基础代谢，比如细胞可能会生产更多蛋白质、利用糖或脂产生更多能量。

8 They confirmed that on average the basal metabolic rate did indeed rise by an average of 10 per cent in response to the over-feeding.

他们确认，平均而言，基础代谢确实会过量进食而上升大约10%。

Metabolic Variation In medical school, we were taught that our patients' basal metabolic rates could be calculated if we knew their height, weight, sex and age.

在医学院，我们学到如果知道患者的身高、重、性别和年龄，就可以计算出他们的基础代谢。

The two switches control: The amount of energy we take in – by controlling our appetite The amount of energy we use up – by controlling our basal metabolic rate.

这两开关控制着：我们摄入的能量多少——通过控制我们的食欲我们消耗的能量多少——通过控制我们的基础代谢。

In the data, they were able to determine estimated changes in the variables mentioned earlier: BMR, basal metabolic rate, TEF, thermic effect of food, and AEE, which combines calories burned from both exercise and non-exercise activities.

在数据中，他们能够确定前面提到的可的燃烧量的大概化: BMR，基础代谢，TEF，食物热效应，以及 AEE，这些数据都结合了运动和非运动活动燃烧的卡路里。

If we over-eat or under-eat, and our weight goes too high or too low compared to our set-point, then our basal metabolic rates are switched upwards or downwards to restore us to our set-point weight.

如果我们吃得过多或过少，重与设定点相比过高或过低，那么我们的基础代谢会上升或下降，以使我们的重恢复到设定点。
