Potential Mechanisms Explaining the Antitumor Effect of Total-Body Irradiation
… increasing evidence has suggested that low-dose total-body irradiation (TBI) may alter leukocyte composition and function leading to heightened immune responsiveness and long-term remission of certain cancers. Having observed that moderate-dose TBI produces an antitumor effect in the Lewis lung …

Arm sweat mineral loss and total body mineral determinations in preadolescent boys
… and the micro-Kjeldhl procedure, respectively. Total body mineral loss was extrapolated from arm sweat mineral and nitrogen loss and total body nitrogen loss. The influence of protein and mineral intake on mineral excretion in sweat was also studied. Statistical analysis (α= 0.05) showed no …

Evaluating Reliability of the Megyesi Total Body Scoring Method on People of Color
… the reliability of Megyesi et al.'s (2005) Total Body Score (TBS) method in assessing decomposition, focusing on people of color (POC). Using a semi-experimental design, it analyzes a dataset of decomposition photos from the Texas State University Forensic Anthropology Center, comprising 5 …

The validity of using grip strength to represent total body strength and of using a 1Rm bench press to represent upper body strength
… the results of the isometric strength tests: (1) total body strength was defined as the sum of the 22 isometric strength measurements and (2) upper body strength was defined as the sum of the 8 upper body isometric strength measurements. The Pearson Correlation Coefficient was used to determine …

Use Of Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry Measurements To Evaluate Total Body Volume When Compared To Air Displacement Plethysmography For Evaluating Body Composition In A Four Compartment Model
<p>Intro: Body composition is an important metric to evaluate overall health. Having reliable body composition testing methods are critical to ensure that an individual is receiving correct data in which to base health, nutrition, and lifestyle decisions. With technological improvements, there are …

Contributions of physical activity, body composition, age, and nutritional factors to total and regional bone mass in premenopausal aerobic dancers and walkers
… than walkers. Another purpose was to identify body composition and nutrition factors related to total and regional bone mass in physically active and sedentary premenopausal women. It was hypothesized that aerobic dancers would have the highest and non-exercisers the lowest total body and …

Differences in Bone Mineral Density Among Adolescent Female Tennis Players and Non-Tennis Players
… (NTP); 2) to determine the differences in body composition (BC) between adolescent female TP and NTP; 3) to determine whether BC variables (weight, fat mass, and lean mass) were predictive of differences in BMD; and 4) to assess osteoporosis knowledge among female high school adolescents. …

A plethysmographic device for determining human body volume and body density
The measurement of total body volume (V) (excluding lung volume) together with total body mass (m) is required in order to determine body density (d = m/V). From this, and using certain simplifying assumptions, it is possible to derive body composition in terms of fat mass (FM) and fat free mass …

Physical Activity and Changes in Abdominal Fat Over 18 Months: A Prospective Study of Middle-Aged Women
… 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 intervention or treatment. Changes in objectively-measured physical activity were used to predict changes in abdominal fat over the study …

The effect of dietary caloric restriction during pregnancy on maternal and fetal body composition in the obese Sprague Dawley rat
… taken by Caesearean section. Maternal and fetal body composition, maternal serum protein concentrations were examined. Weight change for pregnant rats was +85 gms in the ad lib-fed group, +82 gms in the 15% calorie restricted group, and +56 gms in the 30% calorie restricted group. Weight changes …

Use of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to predict water and energy content of juvenile Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
Accurate measurements of energy content and body composition are essential to effectively assess the well-being of fish. Bomb calorimetry and proximate analysis are currently the most dependable and accurate methods to estimate energy content and body composition. However, bioenergetic studies that …

Effects of Creatine Supplementation During Resistance Training Sessions in Physically Active Young Adults
… press and chest press strength and leg press and total body endurance. The creatine group experienced a significant increase in leg press (pre 188.06 ± 88.68 kg, post 231.68 ± 89.39 kg; p < 0.001) and chest press strength over time (pre 120.89 ± 54.87 kg, post 143.38 ± 66.04 kg; p = 0.001) with no …
