Classification of different degrees of adiposity in sedentary rats
(Assoc Bras Divulg Cientifica, 2016-01-01)
In experimental studies, several parameters, such as body weight, body mass index, adiposity index, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, have commonly been used to demonstrate increased adiposity and investigate the ...
Brazilian Curcuma longa L. attenuates comorbidities by modulating adipose tissue dysfunction in obese rats
(2018-12-01)
Background: Adipose tissue dysfunction is a condition characterized by inflammation and oxidative stress able to lead metabolic disorders. Curcuma longa L. (Cl) is a rhizome commonly used in Indian culinary which presents ...
Exposure to maternal hyperglycemia and high-fat diet consumption after weaning in rats: repercussions on periovarian adipose tissue
(2021-01-01)
Clinical and epidemiological studies show that maternal hyperglycemia can change the programming of offspring leading to transgenerational effects. These changes may be related to environmental factors, such as high-fat ...
Evaluation of body adiposity index (BAI) to estimate percent body fat in an indigenous population
(Churchill Livingstone, 2014-04-01)
Background & aims: the aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of Body Adiposity Index (BAI) as a predictor of body fat in Xavante Indians and to investigate which anthropometric measures of adiposity best correlate ...
Relationship of Adiposity and Insulin Resistance Mediated by Inflammation in a Group of Overweight and Obese Chilean Adolescents
(2011)
The mild chronic inflammatory state associated with obesity may be an important link between adiposity and
insulin resistance (IR). In a sample of 137 overweight and obese Chilean adolescents, we assessed associations
between ...
Body adiposity index in Colombian elite athletes: A comparison between the body mass index and other measures
(2015-03-21)
Purpose:
To evaluate the correlations between body adiposity index and other adiposity indexes such as body mass index, hip and waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, Σ6 skinfold-thickness and percentage body fat in ...
High blood pressure and its relationship to adiposity in a school-aged population: Body mass index vs waist circumference
(2018-02-01)
High blood pressure (HBP) is a major concern in pediatric populations. Adiposity is highly related to HBP in youths; however, whether body mass index (BMI) or waist circumference (WC) is more strongly associated with HBP ...
The effects of mirabegron on obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance are associated with brown adipose tissue activation but not beiging in the subcutaneous white adipose tissue
(2021-11-01)
Mirabegron is a selective β₃-adrenergic receptors agonist, which has been recently shown to improve metabolic health in rodents and humans. In this study, we investigated the effects of 2-week mirabegron treatment on the ...
Physical Growth and Body Adiposity Curves in Students of the Maule Region (Chile)
(Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación, 2019)
