Chemical whole-body composition of the 20 kg liveweight growing pig

Modeling chemical and physical body composition of the growing pig

In pig growth models, masses of body lipid (L) and body protein (P) are key state variables that can be related quantitatively to chemical and physical body composition for predicting growth response and carcass characteristics. The main chemical constituents in the empty body weight (EBW) are water (Wa), L, P, and ash. Within pig genotypes, Wa is independent of L and closely related to P (e.g....

Salbutamol affects body composition of the guinea pig

Chemical composition of the body

In order to fully understand the mechanisms of human physiology it is important to have an understanding of the chemical composition of the body. This will come in handy when considering the various interactions between cells and structures. We will gloss over the basic chemistry; however, if there are specific questions with regards to chemistry and its effect on biological function feel free ...
