Question
Different substrates get oxidized during respiration. How does Respiratory Quotient (RQ) indicate which type of substrate, i.e., carbohydrate, fat or protein is getting oxidized?
$\text{R}.\text{Q}=\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}$
What do A and B stand for?
What type of substrates have R.Q. of 1, < 1 or > 1?
