EFFECTS OF CHRONIC PRENATAL STRESS ON ADULT BODY WEIGHT, PERCENT BODY FAT WEIGHT AND PLASMA LEPTIN IN MALE RATS

effect of exogenous ghrelin on body weight and hematocrit of male adult rats in chronic hypoxia

Effect of Caffeine Co-Ingested with Carnitine on Weight, Body-Fat Percent, Serum Leptin and Lipid Profile Changes in Male Teen Soccer Players: a Randomized Clinical Trial

Background: Weight loss and decreasing the Body fat percentage (BF%) is motivated to optimize performance. In order to achieve these, many supplements are used by athletes, however the possible negative or synergic effects have not been fully described in the literature, specifically in humans. The present study was conducted to investigate the co-administration effects of two common used suppl...

The Effect of Nandrolone Decanoate on the Body, Testis and Epididymis Weight and Semen Parameters in Adult Male Rats

Background: Anabolic-androgenic steroids are used at high doses by athletes for improving athletic ability, physical appearance and muscle mass. Therefore, the abuse of these steroids has been significantly increased. Many undesirable side effects of these steroids on the male reproductive function have been reported, however, little is known about their effects on sexual behavior and tissues o...

Effects of rearing temperature on body weight and abdominal fat in male and female rats.

Thermoregulatory mechanisms are influenced by the temperature of the postnatal environment. Animals reared in cool environments are more tolerant of cold as adults, whereas those reared in warm conditions are more tolerant of heat. Because diet-induced and thermoregulatory thermogenesis share common features, studies examined the impact of rearing temperature on weight gain and fat accumulation...

Effect of exogenous ghrelin on body weight and hematocrit of male adult rats in chronic hypoxia

Background: Ghrelin is a peptide predominantly produced by the stomach. Recent studies have shown its protective roles and plasma alterations during hypoxia. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of an exogenous administration of ghrelin on body weight and blood hematocrit during chronic hypoxia. Materials and Methods: Twenty four adult male Wistar rats were divided random...
