Basal Metabolic Rate and Body Composition in Patients with Post-Polio Syndrome
(Karger, 2008-01-01)
The aim of this study was to compare basal metabolic rate (BMR) of post-polio syndrome ( PPS) patients with healthy individuals and to determine its correlation to body composition. BMR (kcal/day) was determined by indirect ...
Protein content and electrophoretic profile of fat body and ovary extracts from workers of Melipona quadrifasciata anthidioides (Hymenoptera, Meliponini)
(Fundação Zoobotânica do Rio Grande do Sul, 2004-12-30)
Workers of Melipona quadrifasciata anthidioides (Lepeletier, 1836) develop their ovaries and lay eggs, therefore the production of vitellogenin is expected. In electrophoretic profiles only fat body extracts from nurse ...
Association between bone mineralization, body composition, and cardiorespiratory fitness level in young Australian men
(Journal of Clinical Densitometry, 2018)
Infection patterns of Paradollfusnema amphisbaenia (Nematoda: Cosmocercidae) in a population of Amphisbaena wuchereri (Squamata: Amphisbaenidae) from Minas Gerais state, south-eastern Brazil, and its relations with host size, sex and fat body mass
(2013-06-01)
Specimens (n= 41) of the amphisbaenid Amphisbaena wuchereri taken from a population in Minas Gerais state, south-eastern Brazil, were examined for gastrointestinal parasites. A single nematode species was found, Paradollfusnema ...
Fat body cells of Amblyomma cajennense partially engorged females (Acari: Ixodidae) and their role on vitellogenesis process
(Academic Press Inc. Elsevier B.V., 2009-03-01)
During the process of Arthropoda reproduction, the synthesis and uptake of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids by oocytes is termed vitellogenesis. These compounds that will make up the yolk may be in ticks endogenously ...
Size-fecundity relationships and reproductive investment in female frogs in the Pantanal, south-western Brazil
(2005-07-01)
The ovarian complement of anurans exhibiting different reproductive modes is highly diverse, and intraspecific variation in reproductive output of anurans is generally related to variation in female properties and/or ...
Body composition analysis by DXA (dual X-ray absorptiometry) in Brazilian men: normative data
(Springer Japan Kk, 2017)
Considering ethnic and anthropometric differences, it is important to obtain specific normative data on body composition (BC) for each population. The objectives of this study were to obtain the normative curve for the BC ...
Performance of body fat and body mass index cutoffs in elevated blood pressure screening among male children and adolescents
(Nature Publishing Group, 2011-08-01)
For percentage of body fat (%BF), there are no internationally accepted cutoffs. The primary function of body fat cutoffs should be to identify not only excessive body fatness, but also the increased risk of unhealthy ...
A comparative study of fat body morphology in five mosquito species
(Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2017)
Ultrastructure of last larval instar fat body cells of Pachycondyla (= Neoponera) villosa (Formicidae : Ponerinae): cytochemical and chemical analysis
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2003-07-01)
The ultrastructure of the fat body cells (trophocytes) of the last larval instar of Pachycondyla (= Neoponera) villosa is presented. The cytoplasm is restricted to the cell periphery and to the smaller strips among the ...
