BACKGROUND Muscle wasting and obesity may complicate the post-stroke trajectory. We investigated the relationships between nutritional status, body composition, and mobility one to 3 years after stroke. METHODS Among 279 eligible home-dwelling individuals who had suffered a stroke (except for subarachnoid bleeding) 1-3 years earlier, 134 (74 ± 5 years, 69% men) were examined according to the ...

an experiment was conducted in early lactating buffaloes for the period of 3 months in jadakheria and polisimal village of limkhedataluka in dahod district of gujarat to assess the effect of supplementation of bypass fat on milk production, composition, body weight change and economic efficiency. forty buffaloes in their 2nd and 3rd lactation were equally divided in completely randomized design...

Sixteen dry ewes of the fat-tailed Barbary breed were used to formulate prediction equations of body water, fat, protein and energy content from the live body weight (BW) and the dilution space of deuterium oxide (SD O). Ewes were injected 2 with 0.5 g D O/kg BW and four blood samples collected after infusion. The D O content of blood water was determined by 2 2 infra-red spectrometry. Ewes wer...

Dietary trans-fatty acids are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and have been implicated in the incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It is established that high-fat saturated diets, relative to low-fat diets, induce adiposity and whole-body insulin resistance. Here, we test the hypothesis that markers of an obese, prediabetic state (fatty liver, visce...

It has been suggested that milk fat, due to its content of saturated fatty acids, may have a thrombogenic effect. In the present study the fatty acid profile of milk fat was modified by changing the feeding regimens of cows and the effect on haemostatic variables of a diet containing the modified milk fat (M) was compared with that of a diet containing milk fat of typical Danish composition (D)...

1. Daily injection of the beta 2-adrenergic agonist clenbuterol (1 mg/kg body-weight) increased weight gain by 12% in young (35 d) male rats and by 18% in castrated rats, but had no effect on energy intake, expenditure or efficiency in either group. 2. Body fat content was not affected by clenbuterol or castration, but water and protein content were significantly increased by clenbuterol treatm...

OBJECTIVE Weight loss reduces abdominal and intrahepatic fat, thereby improving metabolic and cardiovascular risk. Yet, many patients regain weight after successful diet-induced weight loss. Long-term changes in abdominal and liver fat, along with liver test results and insulin resistance, are not known. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We analyzed 50 overweight to obese subjects (46 ± 9 years of ...

PURPOSE to observe whether weight reduction through aerobic exercise is more effective with the intervention of electromagnetic pulse (EMP) Acupoint stimulation. METHOD based on the need of this study, we choose 48 young and middle-aged obese patients and randomly divide them into Experimental Group and Control Group with each group consisting of 24 of them. The Control Group has an aerobic e...
