This prompt presents a fill-in-the-blank question consisting of three items, but it does not provide any numeric data or answer options to guide the calculation. Because there are no given live weight values or specific formulas, we cannot produce concrete numeric results.

First, identify what information is required for each blank:
- Liveweight of the obese rat (kg): You would need the actual measured body weight of the rat in kilograms. Without a measured value, this blank cannot be filled.
- Exponential function to convert live weight to metabolic body weight: In animal physiology, metabolic body weight is commonly estimated using MBW ≈ BW^0.75 (often written as BW raised to the 0.75 power). Some contexts introduce a coefficient (e.g., MBW = a × BW^0.75), but the standard form for a simple estimate is MBW ≈ BW^0.75. To determine the exact function used in a particular protocol, you would need the specified model or coefficient from the study materials.
- Metabolic BW of the obese rat: This depends on the live weight from the first blank and the chosen MBW formula from the second blank. Without the live weight value and the exact MBW formula or coefficient, this blank cannot be computed.

Next, outline the steps you would take if you had the necessary data:
- Step 1: Obtain the rat’s live weight (BW) in kilograms from a precise measurement.
- Step 2: Apply the exponential/metabolic weight formula. If using the common approach, compute MBW = BW^0.75. If a study specifies MBW = a × BW^b, plug in the provided a and b values, or use MBW = BW^0.75 as a baseline.
- Step 3: Report MBW as the metabolic body weight in the same units (often kilograms if using BW in kg and MBW in kg, depending on the exact formulation).

Consider potential ambiguities you might encounter:
- Different studies may use different exponents (some use 0.67, others 0.75) or include a normalization constant. Always confirm the exact MBW formula from the experimental protocol or methods section.
- If the question intends to use body surface area or another metabolic scaling approach, be aware that alternative formulas exist (e.g., MBW = k × BW^0.75 with a species- or context-specific k factor).

If you can provide the measured live weight and the specific MBW formula or coefficients required by your material, I can walk you through the calculations step by step and fill in all three blanks with numeric values.
