Estimating Body Composition of Lizards from Total Body Electrical Conductivity and Total Body Water
Nondestructive methods of estimating body composition are crucial for measuring energy budgets of free-ranging animals. However, most methods have proved to be either difficult or inaccurate for estimating lipid mass, particularly in small animals. I validated the use of total body electrical conductivity (TOBEC) and total body water (TBW) to estimate lean mass and nonpolar lipid mass in the li...
متن کاملTotal Body Electrical Conductivity (tobec) to Estimate Total Body Fat of Free-living Birds
Traditional methods to determine total body fat are undesirable under many circumstances because they require sacrificing individual birds. Walsberg (1988) recently introduced the total body electrical conductivity (TOBEC) method for total body fat to ecological studies. In this paper we expand on Walsberg’s (1988) seminal paper and show that: (1) TOBEC is accurate under a narrow array of body ...
متن کاملA comparison of the fat-free mass of young adults estimated by anthropometry, body density and total body potassium content.
1. The fat-free mass (FFM) of ten male and ten female subjects was calculated from measurement of (i) height and weight, (ii) skinfold thickness, (iii) body density, (iv and v) total body potassium by two different methods. All the subjects were apparently healthy and in the medium range of body build and they were mainly young adults. 2. The mean FFM of the ten male subjects was similar as cal...
متن کاملEstimation of non-fat body tissues from measurements of skinfold thickness, total body potassium and total body nitrogen.
1. Many previous reports have shown that the ratio of total body potassium to fat-free tissue mass is, on average, higher in men than in women. 2. In an attempt to explain this finding we have re-examined our own data and data taken from the literature. Our own data comprise measurements on 333 healthy people (196 men and 137 women). In all subjects we measured total body potassium and estimate...
متن کاملTotal body water volumes for adult males and females estimated from simple anthropometric measurements.
Individual total body water volumes for 458 adult males and 265 adult females obtained from dilution studies, together with their height, weight, and age have been selected from the literature. These values were used to derive total body water prediction equations for adults of any age. The equations that gave the best fit were for males: formula (see text) and for females: formula (see text). ...
