The respiratory quotient (or RQ or respiratory coefficient), is a dimensionless number used in calculations of basal metabolic rate (BMR) when estimated from carbon dioxide production. It is calculated from the ratio of carbon dioxide produced by the body to oxygen consumed by the body. The respiratory quotient (RQ) measures the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide (Vc) produced by an organism to the volume of oxygen consumed (Vo). This is represented by the following equation: This quotient is useful because the volumes of CO2 and O2 produced depends on which fuel source is being metabolized.
