BACKGROUND Obesity is a growing health problem in India and worldwide, due to changes in lifestyle. This study aimed to explore the independent associations between dietary and physical activity exposure variables and total body fat and distribution in an Indian setting. METHODS Individuals who had participated in the Indian Migration Study (IMS) or the Andhra Pradesh Children And Parents' St...

or large bowel), peptic ulceration, intestinal obstruction (herniae or diverticular disease of the colon), hiatus hernia, and gallstones. The first three of these caused most of the 20% of deaths directly due to lesions of the digestive system in McKeown's series of 1,500 necropsies in patients aged 70 or over." This incidence was second only to diseases of the cardiovascular system as causes o...

Bacterial distribution in different developmental stages of house fly Muscadomesticavicina revealed that in the majority of maggots and prepupae, the hemolymph is sterile. Fat cells and trachea are like-wise sterile. Bacteria was distributed through the digestive tract of immature stages of the fly. In larvae/ the largest bacterial count was found in the fore gut then the hind gut and lastly th...

Research has shown that newly hatched birds may be deficient in key digestive enzymes and that the immaturity of the digestive system may result in poor utilization of dietary nutrients. It has also been demonstrated that nutrient digestion rather than the ability to absorb nutrients seems to be the primary limiting factor. Therefore, dietary supplementation of enzymes not produced in sufficien...

BACKGROUND Several studies reported inverse associations between birth weight and central adiposity in adults. However, few studies investigated the contributions of different abdominal fat compartments. OBJECTIVE We examined associations between birth weight and adult visceral and subcutaneous abdominal fat in the population-based Fenland study. DESIGN A total of 1092 adults (437 men and 6...

The efficacy of two exogenous enzyme combinations and a multi-strain Bacillus probiotic (DFM) on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, disappearance of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) and gut microbial composition was investigated in broilers. One-day old Ross 308 chicks were assigned to 36 pens with 22 birds/pen and 6 pens/treatment (Experiment 1) or 36 cages with 8 birds/cage and 6...

OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to examine body fat distribution using computed tomography (CT), dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), and anthropometry in relation to type 2 diabetes in urban Asian Indians. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This is a case-control study of 82 type 2 diabetic and 82 age- and sex-matched nondiabetic subjects from the Chennai Urban Rural Epidemiology Study...

Bacteria play an important role in the initiation and progression of diseases (not only in disease but affect health status of individual). Populations of digestive microflora in chicken gut change with age and also affected by diet, stressors, and performance enhancers as well as in disease conditions. The aim of the pre-sent study was to know bacterial makeup in chicken gut, using denaturing ...

Two experiments were conducted in order to determine the effect of dietary fatty acid profile on deposition of body fat, carcass fat, and separable fat depots. Diets with four types of fat (tallow, olive, sunflower, and linseed oils) at an inclusion level of 10% were administered to female broiler chickens. In Experiment 1, total body fat, carcass fat (total body fat minus abdominal fat), and a...
