Perinatal androgen exposure and adipose tissue programming: Is there an impact on body weight fate?
(Taylor and Francis Ltd, 2015)
© 2015 Informa UK, Ltd. Obesity is a major concern in public health because it is one of the main risk factors for the development of non-transmissible chronic diseases. The fact that there is a clear sex dimorphism in ...
Differences in body composition and energy expenditure in prepubertal children born term or preterm appropriate or small for gestational age
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2009)
Small size at birth may result from fetal undernutrition which may occur at different times during gestation. Early postnatal catch-up growth and excess childhood weight gain are associated with an increased risk of adult ...
The effect of short- and long-term fasting on digestive and metabolic flexibility in the Andean toad, Bufo spinulosus
(2009)
Hibernation in ectothermic animals was historically considered as a simple cold-induced torpor state resulting from the inability to maintain a high body temperature at low ambient temperatures. During the last decades ...
Determinant factors of excess of weight in school children: A multilevel study Factores determinantes del exceso de peso en escolares: Un estudio multinivel
(2007)
Background: Rates of obesity reach high levels in Chile, with geographic, social and school variations. Aim: To identify factors at two levels associated with excessive weight in school children: child-family characteristics ...
Changes in wing length in the pollinator Bombus dahlbomii occurring with the fragmentation of the Maulino forest, Chile Cambios en el largo alar del polinizador Bombus dahlbomii, con la fragmentación del bosque Maulino, Chile
(Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, Facultad de Agronomia e Ingenieria Forestal, 2011)
Habitat fragmentation can affect the morphological design of flying insects in different ways through changes in the costs and benefits of dispersal patterns. Larger wings should be favored if necessary resources are ...
Conservation opportunities in commercial plantations: The case of mammals
(2011)
Enhancing the structural complexity of commercial plantations could enrich the presence of mammals within them. We tested this hypothesis through a meta-analysis in order to determine whether more complex plantations, with ...
Comparative study of the red nucleus cytoarchitecture in cats with neonatal or adult hemicerebellectomy
(1997)
In this study we investigated the red nucleus (RN) cytoarchitecture in cats with hemicerebellectomy performed at a neonatal or an adult age (HcbK and HcbA, respectively). Compared to intact control cats, the volume of the ...
Bioenergetics and intestinal phenotypic flexibility in the microbiotherid marsupial (Dromiciops gliroides) from the temperate forest in South America
(2011)
The microbiotherid marsupial Dromiciops gliroides inhabits the temperate forests of the Southern hemisphere, facing seasonal nutritional and energetic bottlenecks due to its apparently facultative insectivory/frugivory. ...
Dynamic inversion of the 2015 Jujuy earthquake and similarity with other intraslab events
(Oxford University Press, 2017-05)
We study the seismic source of the 2015 (M-w 6.7) Jujuy, Argentina intermediate depth earthquake. We first constrain the fault plane by using a teleseismic inversion and by determining the aftershock distribution. Then, ...
Enhancing avifauna in commercial plantations: Research note
(2010)
The occurrence of fauna in commercial plantations is often associated with structural complexity. Through a meta-analysis, we tested whether the structural complexity of plantations could enhance bird species assemblages ...
