BACKGROUND Obesity, which is epidemic in the United States, is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The combination of diet, exercise, and a behavior-modification program often does not result in ideal body weight. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of phentermine (Phen) alone compared with phentermine plus fenfluramine (Phen-Fen), when used in combina...

introduction: the prevalence of chronic diseases increases with age. increased production of reactive oxygen species involves in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases such as coronary atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetic vascular complications, and heart failure. the present study aimed to explore the effects of resistance training on plasma hydrogen peroxide (h2o2) level of ageing wom...

The biparietal diameter (BPD) in 202 rural Tanzanian newborns was measured and correlated to maturity and body weight. The mean BPD at birth was 9.0 cm. The average body weight was 2642 g. Fetal maturity was determined by Petrussa score, serving as an estimate for gestational age. The mean gestational age of the 202 newborns was 39 weeks. The average body weight of the mature babies (gestationa...

Background This study aimed to assess the impact of perinatal high-fat (HF) diet in female Sprague-Dawley rats (F0) on glucose metabolism and islet function in their early life of second-generation of offspring (F2). Methods F0 rats were fed with a standard chow (SC) or HF diet for 8 weeks before mating, up to termination of lactation for their first-generation of offspring (F1-SC and F1-HF)....

introduction: the prevalence of chronic diseases increases with age. increased production of reactive oxygen species (ros) involves in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases such as coronary atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetic vascular complications, and heart failure. the present study aimed to explore the effects of resistance training on plasma hydrogen peroxide level of ageing wome...

In previous genome-wide QTL studies, Pbwg12 on mouse chromosome 12 was discovered in a gene pool of wild Mus musculus castaneus mice. Pbwg12 does not have a main effect but has an epistatic interaction effect on body weight after birth. In this study, we developed a congenic strain, named B6.Cg-Pbwg12, with an approximately 59-Mb wild-derived genomic region harboring Pbwg12, by recurrent backcr...

aim: aim of present study was to review the effect of eight weeks aerobic training on visfatin total cholesterol and high density lipoprotein of middle age females. materials and methods: for these purpose 30 females (mean age 48/73±9/44 y, height 156/03±5/6 cm and weight 68/37±10/57 kg) who attend in odd day’s morning sport class of hejab gymnasium of shiraz city after fill health and informed...

Data on body weight and linear measurements (LBMs) namely ear length (EL), width (BW), (BL), Head to shoulder (HS), Shoulder tail (ST) of leg (LL) 363 progeny locally adapted Dutch , New Zealand White crossbred rabbits at 3,6,9 12 weeks age were analyzed obtain phenotypic correlations between the various traits prediction equations for weight, using different measurements. There high positive e...
