(Elsevier Gmbh, 2019-11)
The morphological variation of workers is a phenomenon related to a colony context. We have studied body size and fat body morphology in foragers of Scaptotrigona jujuyensis during different periods of the foraging season. ...
The fat body of the hematophagous insect, panstrongylus megistus (Hemiptera: Reduviidae): Histological features and participation of the β-chain of ATP synthase in the lipophorin-mediated lipid transfer
(University of Arizona, 2019-07)
In insects, lipid transfer to the tissues is mediated by lipophorin, the major circulating lipoprotein, mainly through a nonendocytic pathway involving docking receptors. Currently, the role of such receptors in lipid ...
A secondary analysis examining the concordance of self-perception of weight and actual measurement of body fat percentage: The CRONICAS Cohort Study
(BioMed Central, 2019)
Background: Individuals' self-perceptions of weight often differ from objective measurements of body fat. This study aimed to 1) measure agreement between self-perceptions of weight and objective measurement of body fat ...
Patterns of Body Composition Relating to Chronic Respiratory Diseases Among Adults in Four Resource-Poor Settings in Peru
(Springer, 2018)
PURPOSE: Body composition is known to influence the development and progression of chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs). We sought to characterize the unique anthropometric phenotypes that present with asthma, chronic ...

(Elsevier Science Inc, 2001-12)
A three-compartment body composition analysis of 42 professional football (soccer) players and 33 age- and body mass index-matched control subjects was determined by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The equipment provided ...
Increase in Android Fat Mass With Age in Healthy Women With Normal Body Mass Index
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2012-04)
Body fat distribution is gender specific: men tend to accumulate adipose tissue in the android region, whereas women tend to do so in the gynoid region. The aim of the study was to assess total fat mass (TFM), android fat ...
BDA-410 Treatment Reduces Body Weight and Fat Content by Enhancing Lipolysis in Sedentary Senescent Mice
(Gerontological Soc Amer, 2017-08)
Loss of muscle mass and force with age leads to fall risk, mobility impairment, and reduced quality of life. This article shows that BDA-410, a calpain inhibitor, induced loss of body weight and fat but not lean mass or ...
