this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of emulsifiers such as lecithin and bile salts onbroilers performances fed diet containing vegetable fats. 192 male ross broiler chickens were randomlyallocated in a factorial experiment design of 3 × 2, consisting two sources of fat (four percent fatty acidsor soy bean oil) and three emulsifiers (none, one percent lecithin and 0.05 percent b...

PURPOSE To determine the relationship between total body and trunk fat mass and gait performance in postmenopausal women. METHODS Thirty-nine postmenopausal women aged 50 years or more were studied. The following items were determined: weight and height to calculate body mass index (BMI), body composition using the technique of Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA), and gait using baropodome...

BACKGROUND In Saudi Arabia, where childhood obesity is a major public health issue, it is important to identify the best tool for obesity classification. Hence, we compared two field methods for their usefulness in epidemiological studies. METHODS The sample consisted of 874 primary school (grade I-IV) children, aged 6-10 years, and was obtained through a multi-stage random sampling procedure...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships between plasma adiponectin and leptin levels, total and central obesity, and glucose utilization across the adult age span. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We studied 148 women aged 18-81 years with a BMI range of 17.2-44.3 kg/m(2). Total percent body fat was determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and abdominal fat by ...

While there is a considerable body of literature correlating the role of dopaminergic genes and obesity, body mass index, body type, overeating, carbohydrate binging, energy expenditure and low dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) receptor density, there is a paucity of research concerning the dopamine D2 receptor gene (DRD2) variants and percent body fat. We report here the potential association of DRD2...
