  • Oxygen Consumption Rate V. Rate of Energy Utilization of Fishes: a Comparison and Brief History of the Two Measurements
    Journal of Fish Biology (2016) 88, 10–25 doi:10.1111/jfb.12824, available online at wileyonlinelibrary.com Oxygen consumption rate v. rate of energy utilization of fishes: a comparison and brief history of the two measurements J. A. Nelson* Towson University, Department of Biological Sciences, 8000 York Road, Towson, MD 21252, U.S.A. Accounting for energy use by fishes has been taking place for over 200 years. The original, andcon- tinuing gold standard for measuring energy use in terrestrial animals, is to account for the waste heat produced by all reactions of metabolism, a process referred to as direct calorimetry. Direct calorime- try is not easy or convenient in terrestrial animals and is extremely difficult in aquatic animals. Thus, the original and most subsequent measurements of metabolic activity in fishes have been measured via indirect calorimetry. Indirect calorimetry takes advantage of the fact that oxygen is consumed and carbon dioxide is produced during the catabolic conversion of foodstuffs or energy reserves to useful ATP energy. As measuring [CO2] in water is more challenging than measuring [O2], most indirect calorimetric studies on fishes have used the rate of2 O consumption. To relate measurements of O2 consumption back to actual energy usage requires knowledge of the substrate being oxidized. Many contemporary studies of O consumption by fishes do not attempt to relate this measurement backto 2 ̇ actual energy usage. Thus, the rate of oxygen consumption (MO2) has become a measurement in its own right that is not necessarily synonymous with metabolic rate. Because all extant fishes are obligate aerobes (many fishes engage in substantial net anaerobiosis, but all require oxygen to complete their life cycle), this discrepancy does not appear to be of great concern to the fish biology community, and reports of fish oxygen consumption, without being related to energy, have proliferated.

The Exercise Science department in the Arnold School of Public Health, ranked #1 in the nation by Academic Analytics in 2007, was formed in 1989 when Exercise Science became a unit within the School of Public Health and Physical Education joined the College of Education. This change marked a conscious move towards a more scientific approach in better understanding the relationship between physical activity, regular practiced exercise and health. CIP codes assigned to the newly formed department at the time did not reflect the breadth of disciplines, nor the science found, within the study of exercise.

  • Science Education Initiative Proposal
    DEPARTMENT OF INTEGRATIVE PHYSIOLOGY SCIENCE EDUCATION INITIATIVE PROPOSAL This proposal, the submission of which was unanimously endorsed by our faculty, provides a rationale for selecting the Department of Integrative Physiology as one of the participating departments in the Science Education Initiative. Some History The Department of Integrative Physiology (IPHY) was formed in 2003 when nine faculty in the former Department of Environmental, Population and Organismic Biology elected to transfer to the former Department of Kinesiology and Applied Physiology. The result was a new department with a mission that is described as: “Physiology is the field of biology that deals with function in living organisms. The Department of Integrative Physiology engages in and promotes the study of how genes, cells, tissues, and organisms function.” With this focus, it is the intent of the faculty to develop the premier pre-health major on the Boulder campus. One of the first challenges for IPHY was to develop a curriculum for the new major. We decided on a two-phase approach. First, we agreed to combine some of the courses taught by the two sets of faculty into a within-department curriculum that comprised several required courses and a group of six core courses from which the students must complete at least three. We are now in our sixth semester of offering these undergraduate courses: Required Courses Introduction to Integrative Physiology (IPHY 1010) Introduction to Statistics (IPHY 2800) Anatomy: Human (IPHY 3410) or Comparative Vertebrate (IPHY 3460) Physiology: Human (IPHY 3430) or Comparative (IPHY 3450) Core Courses Cell Physiology (IPHY 3060) Immunology (IPHY 3600) Endocrinology (IPHY 4440) Biomechanics (IPHY 4540) Exercise Physiology (IPHY 4650) Neurophysiology (IPHY 4720) The second phase, which we have just begun, is to evaluate the syllabi of these courses and prescribe the content that will be taught in each course.
