Effects of low electromagnetic waves on thymus size, testis and body weight and therapeutic role of vitamin C in mice

Introduction: Results of several studies on different effects of electromagnetic waves reveal that change of field intensity, even milli tesla has various biological effects, therefore investigation on electromagnetic effects can be done in very wide range. In this research, amount of these effects on biomass, thymus, testis and therapeutic role of vitamin C in...

Morphometric Traits and Correlation between Body Weight and Body Size Traits in Isa Brown and IlorinEcotype Chickens

Data collected in 2012 on 400 chickens were subjected to two-way analyses of variance to estimatebody weight, morphometric traits as well as the correlationbetween body weight and morphometric traitsin Isa Brown and Ilorin ecotypechickens. The studied morphometric traits were comb length, beak length,head length, neck length, body length, wing length, shank length, thigh length, toe length, bre...

Effect of Body Weight on Endocrine Parameters and Fat Hormones

The first part of this chapter describes the typical alterations of endocrine parameters in individuals with increased body weight in response to increased fat mass. In the second part, information on biochemistry and the physiological role of clinically relevant hormones and other secretion products of adipose tissue is provided as well as reference values as far as such values currently exist.

Coleman & Robson: Body Weight, Fat-free Weight and Fat of Starlings

The effects of age, sex and season on the live weight and weight of liver, etherextractable fats, fat-free weight and gizzard contents were examined for starlings in Canterbury, New Zealand. Starling live weights varied with age and with the seasonal deposition or mobilization of fat and other stored foods. In spring and summer, non-breeding first-year birds carried relatively more fat than adu...
