Comparisons and Uncertainty in Fat and Adipose Tissue Estimation Techniques: The Northern Elephant Seal as a Case Study
Fig 9
Standard deviation of total proportion fat from tritiated water method when measurements are independently varied. Water-to-fat is the uncertainty associated with the relationship between proportion water and proportion fat, as measured in Eq 6 with results in Fig 6. CPMstock is derived from standard solutions. CPM conc bg is the background CPM·mL−1, and CPM conc equil is the CPM·mL−1 after the labeled water had equilibrated in the animal. Points are means and bars are standard deviations for all measured animals (N = 10).
