Wehave observed a sample of 32Hα selectedTTauri stars in theLupus 2 and3T associationwith the facility bolometer at the SEST and detected cold dust emission at 1.3mm from 12 of the objects. For the remaining objects we have derived 3σ upper limits (≈ 40mJy),which suggest that the cold dustmasses are less than 5 · 10−5 M . For stellar masses below 0.7M the mean disk mass (gas + dust) is approxim...

Background: In addition to reducing body weight, the low-calorie diets can reduce the lean body mass. It is hypothesized that in addition to reducing the body weight, the low-calorie diets can maintain the lean body mass. So, the current study aimed at evaluating the effects of high-protein diet with calorie restriction on body composition in overweight and obese individuals. Methods: 36 obese ...

BACKGROUND To test the hypothesis that preserved muscle mass is protective against obesity-associated insulin resistance and metabolic abnormalities, we analyzed the relationship of lean body mass and computed tomography-assessed sectional areas of specific skeletal muscles with insulin resistance and metabolic abnormalities in a healthy cohort. METHODS A total of 195 subjects without diabete...

INTRODUCTION Female sex is a risk factor for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Previous literature suggests that some diastolic dysfunction (DD) develops during pregnancy and may persist postdelivery. Our objective was to examine the relationship between parity and cardiac structure and function in a population-based cohort. METHODS Participants included 1172 Hispanic/La...
