Abstract

The knowledge that the chemical burning of nutrients and the oxidation of nutrients in animals were similar energy-releasing processes laid the foundations for the study of energy metabolism by direct and indirect calorimetry. The early development of calorimetry and its pioneers will be reviewed.
