The Value of Normal Body Weight in Iceland
… the welfare loss associated with being underweight, overweight or obese is measured. For this purpose, the compensated income variation (CIV) method is applied to panel data from an Icelandic health-and-lifestyle survey carried out in 2007, 2009 and 2012. Special attention is given to the …

Effect of yacon flour (Smallanthus sonchifolius) consumption on body weight, body composition, intestinal permeability and metabolic changes in excess body weight adults
… metabolic markers has not been studied in excess body weight adult humans. Thus, we evaluated the effect of the consumption of yacon flour associated with an energy restricted diet on body composition, food intake, intestinal function, biochemical variables concentration, intestinal permeability, …

The effect of condensed tannins on goats’ body weight
… the feed intake and consequently reduce the body weight gain of goats. The study was conducted in order to determine the effects of different condensed tannin concentrations on the body weight gain of goats. The first experiment was conducted for three weeks in order to determine the effect …

The role of Arginyltransferase 1 in body weight homeostasis
Previous studies reported that systemic deletion of Arginyltransferase 1 (ATE1) in mice results in dramatic fat loss and resistance to diet-induced obesity. However, the mechanisms through which ATE1 influence energy metabolism remain unclear. Here, we investigated the hypothalamic role of ATE1 by …

Body Weight and Mortality Among Adults Who Never Smoked
… an increased mortality risk for adults of high body mass index (> 27 kg/m<sup>2</sup>) that is commonly attributed to the effects of excess body fat, and also identify an increased mortality risk for adults of low body mass index (< 21 kg/m<sup>2</sup>), an association that, if causal among …

Assessing trainer hand forces for manual body weight supported walking
… repetitive stepping on a treadmill using body weight support. A major intent of LT research is to investigate the effect of an extended period of LT on bilateral muscle activation (EMG pattern, amplitude, and burst duration). Currently, training is subjective and there is no way to …

Body Weight Perceptions and Weight Control Behavior Among Adult Bermudians
<p><strong>Background.</strong> Overweight and obesity is a serious public health concern that has major consequences on health and quality of life. As of 2006, 64% of adults in Bermuda were overweight or obese. There remains a gap in the literature related to how adult Bermudians perceive their …

AI-ML Powered Pig Behavior Classification and Body Weight Prediction
… study focuses on activity classification and body weight prediction in pigs. Activity monitoring is essential for understanding the health and growth of pigs. To automate this task effectively, we propose efficient and accurate sensor-based deep learning (DL) solutions. Among these, the 2D …

Selection for Body Weight in Chickens: Resource Allocations and Scaling
… 54-generations of divergent selection for 8-week body weight (BW) and of BW at other ages and reproductive traits. Evaluated first was the influence of scaling on phenotypic responses to selection, phenotypic correlations of means and standard deviations, and unadjusted vs. standardized responses. …

Examining perceived pathogen threat and body weight preferences using experimental priming
… levels of hunger affect preferences for body weight with hungry males preferring heavier female bodies than satiated males. This suggests that body weight preferences are not fixed and vary with ecological conditions. It is therefore possible that the way we perceive bodies could also be …

Genome wide expression analysis and metabolic mechanisms predicting body weight maintenance
… the health systems. Adiposity, an increase in body fat mass, is a major hallmark of obesity. Adipose tissue is long known not only to store lipids but also to influence whole-body metabolism including food intake, energy expenditure and insulin sensitivity. Adipocytes can store lipids and …

Spinophilin Signaling: Impacts on Body Weight, Obesity, and Beta-Cell Function
… We found that loss of spinophilin limited weight gain observed in both a leptin receptor db/db mouse line (Leprdb/db) and mice fed a high-fat diet. Moreover, we found that the decreased fat mass seen in global spinophilin KO mice, at least in the Leprdb/db mice, was not due to major …

The relationships among artificial sweetener consumption, body weight and caloric intake
… among artificial sweetener consumption, body weight, and energy intake were examined using a rat model and a survey of college students. The rats were divided into four treatment groups and one control group (n=10 per group). Group 1 was provided with a 10% sucrose solution; group 2, a …

Effect of resistant starch consumption on body weight and blood lipid profiles
… in the blood and can be improved through lowered body weight. In this study, we hypothesized that resistant starch prepared from high amylose corn (HAM-RS2), would improve plasma lipid profile, and decrease body weight in overweight/obese individuals. In a randomized, double blind study we have …

Thylakoid membranes from green plants affect appetite and promote body weight loss
The incidence of overweight and obesity has reached alarming proportions. Today, overweight, obesity and the metabolic diseases cause more death than starvation. To counteract an increasing body weight gain, regulation of appetite and a controlled food intake is of greatest importance. Simply put, …
