Mammalian alveoli, complex architectural and cellular units with dimensions that are linked to the organism's O2 consumption (VO2), are thought to be destroyed only by disease and not to spontaneously regenerate. Calorie restriction of adult mammals lowers VO2, and ad libitum refeeding returns VO2 to pre-calorie-restriction values. We took advantage of these relationships and tested the hypothe...

BACKGROUND Better techniques are needed to help consumers make lower calorie food choices. This pilot study examined the effect of menu labeling with caloric information and exercise equivalents (EE) on food selection. Participants, 62 females, ages 18-34, recruited for this study, ordered a fast food meal with menus that contained the names of the food (Lunch 1 (L1), control meal). One week la...

INTRODUCTION Calorie intake from beverages has increased in the past decades, which most likely contributes to higher obesity rates. Although coffee chains have grown in popularity in recent years, few data examine the calorie contribution of these drinks. We examined afternoon beverage purchases in New York City at 2 major coffee chains and estimated the mean calorie content of these beverages...

Calorie restriction, or caloric restriction (CR), is a dietary regimen thought to improve health and slow the aging process in some animals and fungi by limiting dietary energy intake below the average needs. CR is the only dietary intervention which has been documented to increase both the median and maximum lifespan in a variety of species, among them rodents, yeast, fishes and dogs. The life...

ABSTRACT The pandemic caused by coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has changed the routine of surfers, professionals and all those involved in surfing. This unusual global crisis major organizational, financial social disruption for coaches, federations fans. world sports, including surfing, entered extreme uncharted territory, which competitions were postponed many beaches closed, preventing any k...

Infectious and many non-infectious diseases share common molecular mechanisms. Among them, oxidative stress the subsequent inflammatory reaction are of particular note. Metabolic disorders induced by external agents, be they bacterial or viral pathogens, excessive calorie intake, poor-quality nutrients, environmental factors produce an imbalance between production free radicals endogenous antio...

OBJECTIVES We examined population-level impact on customer awareness and use and explored potential disparities in outcomes regarding the King County, Washington, regulation requiring chain restaurants to provide calorie information. METHODS We analyzed 2008 to 2010 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data from 3132 English-speaking King County residents aged 18 years and older who rep...

the aim of the present study was to examine the effect of one session of swimming and running exercise on the appetite and calorie intake in healthy girls. the research design was a cross – sectional one and 12 female university students (mean age 22.5±1.3 yr, weight 56.07±5.46 kg, body fat percent 27.125±8.316, bmi 21.175±2.68 kg/m2) voluntarily participated in three modes of control, swimming...

Background: A calorie estimation system based on food images uses computer vision technology to recognize and count calories. There are two key processes required in the system: detection segmentation. Many algorithms can undertake both processes, each algorithm with different levels of accuracy. Objective: This study aims improve accuracy calculation segmentation using a combination Mask R-CNN...
