‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- Cf. Garrison N 638 ---- "Chauveau's work in the field of energy metabolism in relation to muscle effort was productive of several important discoveries. He showed that there is an arteriovenous glucose difference across muscle, indicating that muscle metabolizes glucose and not protein. Across the lung, he found no arteriovenous glucose difference. The findings were a refutation of Claude Bernard's view that glucose was metabolized in the lung but not in muscle. In his study of muscle contraction, he measured heat production during muscle contraction and showed an increase in the metabolism of glucose. He showed that the metabolism of protein requires energy. In dogs fed a rich ration of meat he demonstrated heat production and referred to it as the specific dynamic action of protein".
