1386 PHOTOTHERAPY EFFECT ON INSENSIBLE WEIGHT LOSS IN HUMID ENVIRONMENTS

The effect of the drinking pattern on water economy in hot, humid environments.

Water Adsorption on Lubricated a-CHx in Humid Environments

Humidity influences the tribological performance of the head-disk interface in magnetic data storage devices. In this work a quartz crystal microbalance was used to measure the uptake of water on amorphous hydrogenated carbon (a-CHx) films at room temperature and pressures of water corresponding to relative humidities of 25%: These experiments have used a-CHx films of varying thickness with and...

Increased Insensible Water Loss Contributes to Aging Related Dehydration

Dehydration with aging is attributed to decreased urine concentrating ability and thirst. We further investigated by comparing urine concentration and water balance in 3, 18 and 27 month old mice, consuming equal amounts of water. During water restriction, 3 month old mice concentrate their urine sufficiently to maintain water balance (stable weight). 18 month old mice concentrate their urine a...

Effect of weight loss on adipokine levels in obese patients

BACKGROUND Adipose tissue functions as an endocrine organ by releasing adipokines which have important roles in the regulation of inflammation and insulin sensitivity. Although there is evidence of improvement in circulating levels of adipokines with weight loss, few studies relate such changes to specific diets. We investigated the effects of weight loss achieved by two different diets on circ...
