Respiratory quotient (RQ) can help us to calculate substrate oxidation?
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Respiratory quotient (RQ) is a measurement that indicates the ratio of carbon dioxide produced to oxygen consumed during metabolism. By calculating RQ, we can determine the type of substrate being oxidized for energy production. Different substrates, such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, have different RQ values. Therefore, RQ can be used to estimate the relative contribution of each substrate to overall energy metabolism. Hence, it is true that RQ can help us calculate substrate oxidation.
