BACKGROUND Glycomacropeptide (GMP) is a 64-amino acid glycophosphopeptide released from κ-casein during cheesemaking that promotes satiety, reduces body fat, increases bone mass and infers prebiotic and anti-inflammatory effects. The impact of adiposity and gender on bone health is unclear. OBJECTIVE To determine how feeding female mice diets providing 60% Fat Kcal (high-fat) or 13% Fat Kcal ...

A non-destructive method to predict the total lipid content and the lean body mass (LBM) was evaluated by measuring the total body electrical conductivity (TOBEC) with common carp. This technique is based on the principle that body fat and fat-free mass differ in electric properties which can be measured in a low-frequency electromagnetic field. Experimental fish with average body weight of 122...

Water sorption isotherms and effective moisture diffusivities were determined at 20 8C for sponge cakes at high water activity as a function of their initial porosity, in the range 86 and 52% (0 g/g dry basis fat content), and of their fat content, ranging between 0 and 0.30 g/g dry basis (67% initial porosity). The equilibrium moisture values were not affected by food structure and decreased w...

UNLABELLED Although lifestyle interventions are considered the first-line therapy for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is extremely common in people with type 2 diabetes, no intervention studies have compared the effects of aerobic (AER) or resistance (RES) training on hepatic fat content in type 2 diabetic subjects with NAFLD. In this randomized controlled trial, we compared the...

MRI has been shown to be an excellent technique for measuring body fat content, with it's ability to separately quantify specific fat compartments being a real advantage over other techniques. However, it is not suitable for large population studies. Bioelectrical impedance is widely used as a method for assessing body composition, however previous studies have found there is good correlation b...

The prevalence of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in obese youth is rapidly increasing, especially in Hispanics and African Americans compared to Caucasians. Insulin resistance is known to be associated with increases in intramyocellular (IMCL) and hepatic fat content. We determined if there are ethnic differences in IMCL and hepatic fat content in a multiethnic cohort of 55 obese ...

OBJECTIVES Imaging studies are expected to produce reliable information regarding the size and fat content of the pancreas. However, the available studies have produced inconclusive results. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of imaging studies assessing pancreas size and fat content in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). ME...

Milk fat exhibits seasonal variations in composition and properties which are undesirable for many subsequent applications. Thus techniques are sought to process dairy products in order to achieve a consistent quality. A brief introduction to milk fat presents its most important particularities, especially composition, seasonal variations, solid fat content, crystallisation and polymorphism. Th...

Context Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is often associated with obesity and diabetes. Objective The present study measured body fat distribution and metabolic risk factors in women with features of PCOS. Design Cross-sectional, multiethnic study of cardiovascular risks. Setting General community. Study Participants 145 PCOS and 344 non-PCOS women. Exposure Measures Body compositio...
