Serum polyunsaturated fatty acids in infancy are associated with body composition in adolescence
(Wiley, 2020)
Background Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have been related to the development of adiposity. N-3 PUFA appears to be protective against obesity risk, while n-6 PUFA may be associated with greater adiposity. However, ...
Body mass estimation and locomotion of the Miocene pelecaniform bird Macranhinga
(Polish Academy of Sciences. Institute of Paleobiology, 2001-01)
The fossil darter Macranhinga paranensis (Aves: Pelecaniformes) from the late Miocene of Argentina is the largest of all known extinct or living Anhingidae. Its body mass is estimated at a mean value of 5.4 kg by using a ...
Body mass estimation in Triassic cynodonts from Argentina based on limb variables
(Polish Academy of Sciences. Institute of Paleobiology, 2022-04)
Body mass estimations for extinct taxa are fundamental in palaeobiological reconstructions, but little work has been done on this topic for non-mammaliaform cynodonts (NMC), the diverse and abundant Permo-Cretaceous ...
Comparison of body-image self-perception according to Body Mass Index and fat percentage of university students Comparación en autopercepción de la imagen corporal en estudiantes universitarios evaluados según índice de Masa Corporal y porcentaje de grasa
(Asociacion Espanola de Dietistas-Nutricionistas, 2016)
Introduction: Usually the correlation between BMI and body image is estimated but the correlation using another methodology is unknown. The aim of this study was to compare the self-perception of body image using BMI and ...
Prediction of offspring in extant and extinct mammals to add light on paleoecology and evolution
(Elsevier Science, 2016-07)
Reproductive strategies can be inferred from adult body mass, although offspring characteristics can give more accurate tools to predict life histories. In fossil mammals, adult body mass estimation incorporates error to ...
Formulation of an equation to predict fat mass using bioelectrical impedance in adults in a wide range of ages and body mass index Formulación de una ecuación para predecir la masa grasa corporal a partir de bioimpedanciometría en adultos en un amplio ran
(2011)
Background: Bioelectrical impedance (BIA) has a good correlation and agreement with reference techniques, such as dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), to assess body composition. Aim: To develop and assess the concordance ...
No Evidence for an Association Between Genetic Polymorphisms of
(Elsevier Science Inc., 2002)
OBJECTIVE: We assessed the association between Gln27Glu and Trp64Arg genetic polymorphisms of the
2 (ADRB2) and 3 (ADRB3) adrenergic receptor genes with body mass index and other cardiovascular
risk factors.
METHODS: ...
Dry mass estimation of tropical aquatic insects using different short-term preservation methods
