Regulation of body fat content?
A CLEVER AND INFORMATIVE PAPER by Lacy and Bartness (16) in this issue of the American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology provides new data regarding the question of whether animals regulate their body content at a preferred level. Fifty years ago, Kennedy (15) proposed the existence of a “hypothalamic satiety mechanism” that served to prevent “an overall s...
متن کاملMetaphase to Anaphase (mat) Transition–Defective Mutants inCaenorhabditis elegans
The metaphase to anaphase transition is a critical stage of the eukaryotic cell cycle, and, thus, it is highly regulated. Errors during this transition can lead to chromosome segregation defects and death of the organism. In genetic screens for temperature-sensitive maternal effect embryonic lethal (Mel) mutants, we have identified 32 mutants in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans in which fert...
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 کاملHigh- and low-throughput scoring of fat mass and body fat distribution in C. elegans.
Fat accumulation is a complex phenotype affected by factors such as neuroendocrine signaling, feeding, activity, and reproductive output. Accordingly, the most informative screens for genes and compounds affecting fat accumulation would be those carried out in whole living animals. Caenorhabditis elegans is a well-established and effective model organism, especially for biological processes tha...
