Abstract

A method for determining metabolic status of any organism is disclosed. The method is based on determining the changes in rate of oxygen consumption as a function of varying stress levels, and particularly in response to varying the levels of ambient oxygen supply to the organism. Typically, the stress variation is imposed against a backdrop of constant second stress applied to the same organism.
