Objectiyes: Tb examine the effects of P,-adrenergie receptor gene potymorphism on body weight change during a weight reduction program for midd]e-aged, oyerweight women with carefu1 consideration oftheir energy intake and expenditure. Methods: Design: Intervention study of weight reduction for l2 weeks in a community setting. Subjects: Eighty oyerweight middle-aged women who completed the indiv...

the effect of ephedrine at 0 (e0c0, n = 10), 8 (e8c0, n = 10) and 10 (e10c0, n = 10) mg per kg metabolic body weight or mixture of ephedrine/caffeine, at doses of 8 mg ephedrine/80 mg caffeine (e8c80, n = 10), or 10 mg ephedrine/100 mg caffeine (e10c100, n = 7), per kg metabolic body weight on body composition of feedlot mehraban ram lambs (8-month-old) was studied. the lambs were fed for 95 da...

a camel research station was established in 1990 at the central desert land of iran named kavir-e-loot, to evaluate productivity performance of one humped camel. the data consisted of birth weights (bw), three (w3), six (w6), nine (w9) months and yearling (w12) body weight of animals and the pedigree was registered during a period of 14 years since 1991 to 2004. the body weight traits of birth,...

the objectives of this study were to identify a suitable mathematical model for describing the growth curve of baluchi sheep based on monthly records of live weight from birth to yearling; and to evaluate the efficacies of nonlinear mixed effect model (nlmm) and the nonlinear fixed effect model (nlm) methodologies. growth models were fitted to a total of 16,650 weight–age data belonging to 2071...

background: obesity is an important and life-threatening disease, associated with different chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. we sought to address the paucity of information on the trends of anthropometric indices such as weight, waist circumference, and body mass index in the adult population of iran. methods: we drew upon data from the first non-co...

background: polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos) represent one of the common endocrine disorders which influence around 8% of reproductive women whom usually suffering from obesity and increase cardiovascular risk. serum homocysteine levels are associated with bad impact on endothelial functions and considered as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. objective: the aim was to stu...

Background The benefits of sodium glucose cotransporters 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus include plasma glucose control, reduction in body weight and blood pressure, and low risk of hypoglycemia, although they may also cause genitourinary infections, polyuria, or volume depletion. It is not clear whether dapagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, improves treatment satisf...

BACKGROUND The association between change in weight or body mass index, and mortality is widely reported, however, both measures fail to account for fat distribution. Change in waist circumference, a measure of central adiposity, in relation to mortality has not been studied extensively. METHODS We investigated the association between mortality and changes in directly measured waist circumfer...

background: in pediatric resuscitation, it is necessary to distinguish the weight in order to provide proper doses of drugs, equipment selection, and ventilator settings, therefore, access to a simple, unbiased, and accurate formula can decrease mistakes. the aim of this study is to determine the percentage of error (pe) of different weight estimation methods toward actual weight in children  a...
