Abstract

On each of 9 members of SANAE I, among other investigations, monthly determinations of the basal metabolic rate (BMR) and the body weight were made from February to December 1960. In addition, the 24-hour amounts of urine were measured and a sample of each was analysed in South Africa for total nitrogen and creatinine after 3 - 12 months' storage at low temperatures.
