Does estradiol mediate leptin's effects on adiposity and body weight?
The role of estradiol in mediating leptin's effects on body weight was assessed in ovariectomized (OVX) mice before and after the onset of obesity. Ovariectomy did not alter leptin levels before the onset of obesity, and estradiol adminstration (0.05-17 μg/day for 14 days) did not significantly alter leptin levels if they were corrected for the estradiol-induced reduction in body fat. The conve...
متن کاملDoes body adiposity index evaluate percentage of body fat?
Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to determine whether the novel marker, body adiposity index (BAI), is accurate to measure percentage of body fat (PBF). Materials and methods: Seventy-eight males were undergone anthropometric examination. PBF was calculated by BAI and measured using InBody 3.0. Results: Significant correlation was found between BAI and PBF (r = 0.751; P < ...
متن کاملEffect of body condition, body weight and adiposity on inflammatory cytokine responses in old horses.
Advanced age is associated with a low-grade, systemic inflammatory response characterized by increased inflammatory cytokine production both in vitro and in vivo, termed inflamm-aging. It is also known that increased white adipose tissue, associated with obesity, leads to increased production of inflammatory cytokines. To date, it is unknown whether increased adiposity contributes to the age-re...
متن کاملOver-Expressing Mitofusin-2 in Healthy Mature Mammalian Skeletal Muscle Does Not Alter Mitochondrial Bioenergetics
The role of mitofusin-2 (MFN-2) in regulating mitochondrial dynamics has been well-characterized in lower order eukaryotic cell lines through the complete ablation of MFN-2 protein. However, to support the contractile function of mature skeletal muscle, the subcellular architecture and constituent proteins of this tissue differ substantially from simpler cellular organisms. Such differences may...
متن کاملBody condition score, morphometric measurements and estimation of body weight in mature Icelandic horses in Denmark
BACKGROUND Obesity is related to the development of several diseases like insulin resistance and laminitis in horses. The prevalence of obesity among mature Icelandic horses in Denmark has not been investigated previously. This study aimed to find the prevalence of obesity, to compare body condition score (BCS) based on owner perception with that of an experienced person and to correlate the BC...
