Early weaning impairs body composition in male mice
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of early weaning on body composition and on parameters related to nutritional status in mice. The experimental group consisted of male Swiss Webster mice that were weaned early (at postnatal day fourteen) and fed an appropriate diet for growing rodents until postnatal day twenty-one (EW group). The control group consisted of male mice breastfed until post...
متن کاملGenetics of Body Composition in Mice'
Selection in mice for high and low fat percentage and high and low lean percentage, based on indicator traits of total composition, point to moderately high heritabilities which are in agreement with base population estimates calculated as regressions of sons on sires. Selection for a single fat depot, epididymal fat pad weight as a percentage of body weight at 12-weeks of age, resulted in corr...
متن کاملEffects of early pregnancy in growth, body composition and efficiency in mice.
Growth, body composition and energetic efficiency of early-pregnant (EP), normal-pregnant (NP) and virgin mice fed ad libitum were studied. Mean mating ages were 29.4 + .45 and 51.5 + .29 days for EP and NP females, respectively. Protein, fat and ash weights and caloric value at parturition were greater in NP than in EP females, as were the percentages of protein and fat. However, EP females ha...
متن کاملEarly weaning stress impairs development of mucosal barrier function in the porcine intestine.
Early life stress is a predisposing factor for the development of chronic intestinal disorders in adult life. Here, we show that stress associated with early weaning in pigs leads to impaired mucosal barrier function. Early weaning (15- to 21-day weaning age) resulted in sustained impairment in intestinal barrier function, as indicated by reductions in jejunal transepithelial electrical resista...
متن کاملEarly rheumatoid arthritis and body composition.
OBJECTIVES RA is associated with joint destruction and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Possible predictors for CVD are early changes in body composition. We therefore evaluated whether lean mass of arms and legs (LMAL), total body fat mass (BFM) or truncal fat distribution (TFD) are altered early in RA, and if so, which factors are associated. METHODS We included 132 RA patients (95 women) wi...
