Nutritional Management Affects Feedlot Performance, Carcass Characteristics and the Relationships of Intramuscular Fat, Subcutaneous Fat, and Feed Efficiency of Normal and Early -Weaned Heifers
… and breed on the relationships of 12 th rib fat, marbling score and feed efficiency were evaluated using ultrasound technology. The data suggested that early weaning heifers and finishing them as calves resulted in more efficient gains (P ≤ 0.01) at any given marbling score and higher …

Assessment of Electrode Configurations of Electrical Impedance Myography for the Evaluation of Neuromuscular Diseases
… (X) and phase (θ) depend significantly on subcutaneous fat thickness, muscle size and inter electrode distance. The objective of this research is to find an electrode configuration which can minimize the effects on EIM parameters due to subcutaneous fat thickness variation. In this study, a …

Unraveling the Interaction Between Beige Adipocytes and the Sympathetic Nervous System
… variation in beige adipocyte distribution in subcutaneous fat. Through morphological characterization of the sympathetic nerve projections in subcutaneous fat, we found a dense network of sympathetic parenchymal neurites localizing to the same region where beige adipocytes readily arise. To …

Feasibility of Using Virtual Unenhanced Images to Replace Pre-Contrast Images In Multiphase Renal Ct Examinations
… the liver, spleen, spine, aorta, cystic lesions, subcutaneous fat, renal cortex and medulla, and the differences were tested with a Student’s paired t-test. There were significant differences between TUE and VUE measurements ( p-value > 0.05) in the spleen, spine, aorta, renal cortex, subcutaneous …

The (travel) times they are a changing : a computational framework for the diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
… a non-invasive method to diagnose Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). The proposed method is based on two fundamental concepts: 1) the speed of sound in a fatty liver is lower than that in a healthy liver and 2) the quality of an ultrasound image is maximized when the beamforming speed of …

Three-dimensional, in-silico breast phantom for multimodality image simulations
… modalities. Breast epidermal boundary and subcutaneous fat layer is generated by fitting an ellipsoid and 2nd degree polynomials to reconstructive surgical data and ultrasound imaging data. Intraglandular fat is simulated by randomly distributing and orienting adipose ellipsoids within a …

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 …

Mechanisms of growth hormone inhibition of adipose tissue growth
… study was conducted to determine if GH inhibits fat tissue growth by stimulating lipolysis. In this study, adipose tissue weight and adipocyte size were compared between GH-deficient growth hormone releasing hormone receptor (Ghrhr) homozygous mutant mice (i.e., lit/lit mice), lit/+ mice, and …

The Influence of Growth Stage on Carcass Composition and Factors Associated with Marbling Development in Beef Cattle
<p>Subcutaneous fat and intramuscular fat (marbling) both increase in beef cattle during the feeding phase, but are antagonistic in regard to their contribution to beef carcass value. The objective of this study was to determine whether cellular factors associated with marbling development change …

The Role of Fto-Gene In Adiposity and Insulin Resistance: Interaction With Diet and Physical Activity
… our study was to assess the combined effect of fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene, dietary intake, and physical activity on the measures of adiposity. Specifically, we explored the interaction between FTO polymorphisms and selected foods and nutrients (saturated fat, dietary fiber, red …

High frequency ultrasonic characterization of human skin In vivo
… the characteristics of normal human dermis and subcutaneous fat. Attenuation coefficients were obtained by computing spectral slopes vs. depth, with the transducers axially translated to minimize diffraction effects. Backscatter coefficients were obtained by compensating recorded backscatter …

Sex Differences in Arterial Destiffening with Weight Loss
… because men accumulate more abdominal visceral fat (VF) and lose more with WL compared with women of similar age and adiposity. To test our hypothesis AS was assessed from measurements of pulse wave velocity and ultrasonography of the carotid artery (Ã -SI). Total body and VF were measured using …

Regulation of skeletal muscle growth and gene expression by insulin-like growth factors and myostatin
… eye area was 10% greater (P = 0.01) and back fat was reduced (P = 0.01) 15% in APat pigs compared with GPat pigs. Consequently, boneless carcass cutting yield was increased (P < 0.01) 2.34 percentage units in APat pigs compared with GPat pigs. Mutations that improve carcass lean yield are …

Patients with adrenal adenomas and autonomous cortisol secretion. Impact of hypercortisolism on skeletal and adipose tissue mass, measured in abdominal computed tomography
… patients with a non-functioning adrenal tumor (NFAT) were included. Methods: Medical records were reviewed and body composition measurements (visceral fat [VAT], subcutaneous fat [SAT], visceral/total fat [V/T], visceral/subcutaneous [V/S] and total abdominal muscle mass) were calculated based on …

Expression of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor in Behçet's disease
… diffusely distributed throughout epidermis and subcutaneous fat, whereas in psoriasis patients, MIF protein was distributed only in epidermis. CONCLUSION: Contrary to previous reports, serum levels of MIF were decreased in patients with Behcet's disease and polymorphisms in the MIF promoter …

Influence of conventional and Kosher slaughter techniques in cattle on carcass and meat quality
… (G), sub-divided into: male (M) and female (F); fat code (FC), sub-divided into: FC-2 and FC-3 (i.e. lean to medium fatness). The quality attributes evaluated were blood loss (BL), drip loss (DL), cooking loss (CL), presence of blood in the trachea (BLT), blood splash in the lungs (BS), shear …

The Effects of the Mad Dog Diet on Bowel Function, Body Composition, Neuropathic Pain, and Depression in a Spinal Cord Injury and Multiple Sclerosis Population
… body mass (p=0.006), lean mass (p=0.046) and fat mass (p=0.038). Despite the significant reduction in fat mass, there were no significant changes in subcutaneous fat mass (p=0.091), or visceral mass (p=0.33), which suggests that the study was underpowered and could not distinguish the relative …

Factors Affecting the Textural Properties of Pork
The D sire line had less fat depth and greater percent lean than the C line (P < 0.05). Barrows were fatter than gilts, as evident by more subcutaneous fat, lower percent lean, and more intramuscular fat (P < 0.05). Pork quality measurements were inconsistent over sire line, indicating no advantage …

Growth, body composition and costs of feeding Holstein heifers
… showed that compensatory gains were mainly fat. Lasalocid feeding increased daily gain and subcutaneous fat deposition but reduced feed intake and ribeye area. When moving grazing heifers to drylot a total mixed ration with fishmeal or soybean meal as protein sources gave similar responses. …
