aim and background: a child adhd is one of the most common child psychiatric disorders. lack of drug treatment of the before mentioned disorder may leads to various problems in children because of weight gain. methods and materials: methodology used in this research is quasi-experimental intervention study which has done by using two experimental and control groups. our research population was ...

in this study, 100 moghani sheep from breeding station located in jaafarabad, moghan were genotyped for exon 1 of igf-i gene, using pcr-sscp. different band patterns were obtained in this site gene that was studied. based on sscp patterns, three genotypes bc, bd and bb obtained with frequencies of 65%, 26% and 9%, respectively. the genotype frequencies had a significant deviation from hwe. in a...

fifty moghani male lambs with mean body weight of 28±1.9 kg were investigated in a completely randomized design for 98 days to assess the effect of replacing corn silage (cs) by amaranth silage (as) on weight gain, rumen fermentation and blood parameters. five iso-energetic and iso-nitrogenous diets, in which cs replaced by different levels of as (0, 75, 150, 225, or 300 g/kg of diet dm), were ...

BACKGROUND Weight gain during young adulthood is common and is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Preventing this weight gain from occurring may be critical to improving long-term health. Few studies have focused on weight gain prevention, and these studies have had limited success. SNAP (Study of Novel Approaches to Weight Gain Prevention) is an NIH-funded randomized clinical trial...

1. The effect on body-weight of field work in Antarctica when travelling by mechanical transport has been studied. 2. A steady loss of weight (mean 6-2 kg) was found in field, and there was a slow gain on return to less arduous conditions. 3. Changes in skinfold thickness and hip girth suggested that the loss of weight was due to an energy deficit, and the gain was due to an excess of energy. 4...

Childhood obesity is arguably the most significant global public health threat, yet effective strategies to contain or prevent the disease are not available. This review examines the physical activity patterns of children and the role physical activity plays in daily energy expenditure. The prevailing focus on moderate to vigorous activity in childhood means there is limited objective informati...

BACKGROUND Overweight develops gradually as a result of a long term surplus on the balance between energy intake and energy expenditure. Aim of this study was to quantify the positive energy balance responsible for excess body weight gain (energy gap) in young overweight children. METHODS Reported data on weight and height were used of 2190 Dutch children participating in the PIAMA birth coho...
