51.   Too much of it causes acidosis, which can kill animals, especially marine organisms with low metabolic rates.

52.   Certainly increasing the amount of food is helpful as is including food such as cabbage, which can help slow down the metabolic rate.

53.   Children cool faster because they are small, and their metabolic rate also decreases more quickly, preserving oxygen in the cells.

54.   Eating later at night when the body has slowed down its metabolic rate before bed will also help put on weight rather than a big meal in the morning.

55.   Unfortunately, starvation causes excessive loss of lean tissue and therefore, too great a decrease in resting metabolic rate after weight loss.

56.   Auckland Institute of Technology anatomy and physiology lecturer, Elaine Rush, found that the resting metabolic rate of Polynesian women was lower than that of Caucasian women.

57.   Postmenopausal white women with a genetically slow metabolic rate for tobacco-related carcinogens face a greater risk of developing breast cancer, according to a study released Tuesday.
