To test the hypothesis that basal energy expenditure may be abnormal in azotemia, oxygen consumption was studied in partially nephrectomized, azotemic male Sprague-Dawley rats and sham operated control rats 10, 16, and 31 days after surgery. Observed decreased oxygen consumption in the azotemic group was related to their decreased body weight. There was no significant difference in oxygen consumption between groups when oxygen consumption values were related to weight.75.
