the objective of this study was to investigate the relationship among body weight and fat-tail measurements with fat-tail weight by using multiple regression and principal component analysis. the eleven characters includes, body weight, fat-tail length, fat-tail circumference, width and diameters in 3 position of upper, middle and lower before the slaughter, and also fat-tail weight after the s...

Glucocorticoids via the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) have effects on a variety of cell types, eliciting important physiological responses via changes in gene expression and signaling. Although decades of research have illuminated the mechanism of how this important steroid receptor controls gene expression using in vitro and cell culture-based approaches, how GR responds to changes in external ...

Blepharochalasis is an uncommon disorder distinguished by recurrent episodes of eyelid oedema in young patients. A hypertrophic form, manifested as fat herniation, and an atrophic form, manifested as fat atrophy, have been described. Ptosis with excellent levator function, laxity of the lateral canthal structures with rounding of the lateral canthal angle, nasal fat pad atrophy, and redundant e...

Previous studies have suggested that the peptide galanin (GAL) in the hypothalamus is related to the preference of an animal for dietary fat. The present report investigates this relationship further to identify the specific GAL-synthesizing cell groups involved and to characterize their association to circulating glucose or hormones and their possible contribution to body fat deposition. Male ...

A pressurized continuous flow system using electromagnetic induction heating technique has been developed for the determination of trace and minor element content in biological samples by microwave induced plasma-optical emission spectrometry (MIP-OES). The system allows the continuous solubilization of samples at an optimized temperature of 120 °C and pressure of 3.5 bar in 40 min. A system wa...

purpose accurate measurement or prediction of fat mass is useful in physiology, nutrition and clinical medicine. most predictive equations currently used to assess percentage of body fat or fat mass, using simple anthropometric measurements were derived from people in western societies and they may not be appropriate for individuals with other genotypic and phenotypic characteristics. we develo...
