BACKGROUND The increment in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) after a protein load has been taken to reflect the renal reserve capacity; however, this response is preserved in end-stage kidney disease. Tubular secretion of creatinine is increased in relation to the GFR in renal failure, but little is known about the tubular functional response to stimulation despite the fact that tubulointerstit...

The present study compared the intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) and the glucose postprandial response (GPPR) test for the evaluation of glucose metabolism in obese dogs. A total of ten owned obese dogs (body condition score (BCS) of 9; fat mass, 45.7 (sem 1.51) %) were used. These dogs had their weight reduced by 20 % (BCS, 8; fat mass, 33.5 (SEM 1.92) %; P < 0.001), designated as wei...

OBJECTIVES Heart rate (HR) is a crucial health indicator and also one of the factors we need to pay explicit attention to. Body Mass Index (BMI) considered cofactor in heart-related issues like heart increment recovery. Thus study was conducted determine relationship between BMI METHODOLOGY 24 participants aged 17-20 were examined during elliptical machine training once week continuously for th...

We describe the changes in the prevalence of overweight and obesity in 4606 students that applied to a Mexican University during 1994 to 2008. The mean (± standard deviation [SD]) age was 17.7 ± 1.2 years-old. Progressive and significant increments of bodyweight (female [F] = 2.6, P = 0.03), body mass index (BMI) (F = 4.4, P = 0.001), and waist circumference (F = 30.08, P < 0.0001) in women, an...

The network expansion problem is a very important practical optimization when there need to increment the flow through an existing of transportation, electricity, water, gas, etc. In this problem, augmentation can be achieved either by increasing capacities on arcs, or adding new arcs network. Both operations are coming with cost. paper, finding minimum cost so that modified transport given amo...

PURPOSE To test whether the distance to the mass center of a buildup made of visible-light- or chemically curing composite resin bonded to dentin and cured in one increment has an influence on µTBS. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the experimental groups, one-increment visible-light (Z250) or chemically-cured (TiCore) composite-resins buildups were bonded to flattened bovine dentin surfaces. In the ...
