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 ...
Lean and Fat Mass Loss in Obese Patients Before and After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: A New Application for Ultrasound Technique
(Springer, 2012-04-01)
This study aims to evaluate the thickness of the femoral quadriceps and biceps brachii and brachialis muscles bilaterally and the adjacent subcutaneous fat in patients undergoing gastric bypass Roux-en-Y before and after ...
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 ...
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 ...
Association between bone mineralization, body composition, and cardiorespiratory fitness level in young Australian men

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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Anthropometric midarm measurements can detect systemic fat-free mass depletion in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica (ABRADIC), 2011-05-01)
Our objective was to determine whether anthropometric measurements of the midarm (MA) could identify subjects with whole body fat-free mass (FFM) depletion. Fifty-five patients (31% females; age: 64.6 ± 9.3 years) with ...

(2013-06-06)
Obesity and osteoporosis are important global health problems characterized by increasing prevalence with high impact on morbidity and mortality. The objective of this review was to determine whether excess weight during ...
