Physical Activity and Changes in Abdominal Fat Over 18 Months: A Prospective Study of Middle-Aged Women
… changes in physical activity predict changes in abdominal fat in women over an 18-month period, while statistically controlling the effects of possible confounders, such as age, total body fat percent, and energy intake. Design: A prospective cohort design over 18 months. There was no …

The effect of nutrition and environment on broiler type chickens
… broiler body weight, feed efficiency, percentage abdominal fat, and incidence and severity of leg abnormalities was studied in two experiments. Broilers subjected to intermittent light (1 hr on:2 hrs off) had heavier 49 day body weights, and similar feed efficiencies than birds given continuous …

Responses of Two Strains of Broilers to Diets Varying in Essential Amino Acid Density and Energy Levels
… impacted by reduction of amino acid levels. Abdominal fat weights and yields were increased when energy levels were increased or amino acid levels decreased. Cumulative feed:gain was improved with increased amino acids in both strains through 35 and 42 days of age, and was improved in slow …

Fat deposition in relation to sexual maturation of Japanese quail
… mature was associated with a reduction in body fat. The effects of the other treatments on sexual maturity, however, were not consistently associated with differences in body weight and/or body composition. In the second phase of this study, adipocyte hyperplasia was examined in relation to …

Chickens Selected for High Body Weight Show Relative Impairment in Fatty Acid Oxidation Efficiency and Metabolic Flexibility in Skeletal Muscle and White Adipose Tissue
… HWS chickens are associated with altered fatty acid oxidation efficiency and metabolic flexibility in tissues associated with energy sensing and storage, and relative cellular hypertrophy in white adipose tissue. Hypothalamus, liver, Pectoralis major, gastrocnemius, abdominal fat, …

Bromide residues in tissues from rats maintained on diets fumigated with methyl bromide
… and the triceps, gastrocnemius muscle, eyes, abdominal fat, blood and tibia were analyzed by neutron activation analysis (NAA) for bromide residues. A computer program was designed to convert the NAA data to ppm bromide. There was a significant difference in the levels of bromide in the …

A longitudinal study of adolescents into adulthood: tracking of nutrient intake and body size
… of obesity relate specifically to intra-abdominal fat accumulation. Efforts to tackle these problems are now turning towards early prevention rather than later treatment. However, this assumes that improvements in diet and adiposity will be maintained into adulthood. This thesis describes …

Regional Fat Distribution, Physical Activity and Hormonal Factors in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes
… study evaluated the association between central fat (CF) and both plasma hormones and physical activity (PA) in 17 men and 23 women (mean age 62 years, body mass index 31 kg/m2) with type 2 diabetes. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to assess central abdominal fat (CAF), abdominal fat …

Arterial Destiffening with Weight Loss in Overweight and Obese Middle-Aged and Older Adults
… decreased blood pressure, total body and abdominal fat. No such changes were observed in the control group. Pooled correlation analysis suggests that the magnitude of change in C-F PWV was not associated with changes in systolic, diastolic or mean blood pressure. We further hypothesized …

Molecular and cellular mechanisms of energy homeostasis in birds
… LWS was more dependent on yolk and subcutaneous fat mobilization for growth from hatch to day 4 post-hatch, with hyperplasia-predominated replenishment of the reservoir. In contrast, HWS was more dependent on feed for growth and maintained depot mass through hyperplasia and hypertrophy. From day …

Adipocyte hyperplasia and fat deposition in high-weight and low- weight chickens
… overconsumption increased weight gain and fat deposition, with concomitant increases in the total adipocyte DNA content of the assayed fat depots. Injections of DNA-specific [methyl³H] thymidine resulted in higher radioactivity levels in the fat depots of forced versus ad libitum or …

Effects of dietary macronutrient composition and exogenous neuropeptide Y on adipose tissue development in broiler chicks
… period. A high-carbohydrate (HC), high-fat (HF) or high-protein (HP) diet was fed to broiler chicks in all experiments and various facets of physiology were evaluated at day 4 post-hatch, including diet-, fasting-, and neuropeptide Y-induced effects on gene expression, cellular …

The Influence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome on Insulin Resistance, Metabolic Syndrome, and Endothelial Dysfunction in Young Men
… portable polysomnography test. Total fat and central abdominal fat (CAF) were assessed using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Fasting blood samples were used to quantify biochemical markers for insulin resistance (glucose, insulin, adiponectin, IL-6, and TNF-á) and endothelial …

Role of appetite-regulating peptides in adipose physiology in broiler chicks
… a system collectively known as the "brain-fat axis". Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is orexigenic and promotes adipogenesis in both birds and mammals, although mechanisms in adipose tissue are unclear. The first objective was thus to evaluate effects of NPY on chick preadipocyte proliferation and …
