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 water and body composition in chronic peritoneal dialysis patients.
In this investigation, total body water (TBW) in ten chronic peritoneal dialysis patients was studied by deuterium (TBW-2H), skinfold thickness (TBW-ST), Watson formula (TBW-WA), 58% of body weight (TBW-58%), and bioelectrical impedance (TBW-BIA), and these results were compared with the reference oxygen18 (TBW-18O) method. We also analyzed the fat-free mass (FFM) by skinfold thickness (FFM-ST)...
متن کاملComparison of Muscle Mass, Total Body Water and Total Body Protein in Type II Diabetics with Healthy Matched Adults by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis
Background: Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a new and rapid technique to validate body composition. Several studies have used this technique to evaluate body compositions, such as muscle mass, in diabetic patients, but the results are very different. This may due the differences between diabetic patients and control group. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the muscle mass of diab...
متن کاملSeasonal changes in body mass, body composition and food requirements in wild migratory birds.
Some species of small migrant songbirds and shorebirds undergo seasonal changes in body mass which are proportionately greater and more rapid than those known in any other adult vertebrates. Within a 2-3-week period before migration they may double in total body mass, but after 2-3 d of flight return to starting mass (Davidson & Evans, 1988; Alerstam & Lindstrom, 1990). These changes occur larg...
متن کاملTotal body water and total body potassium in patients with continent ileostomies.
Total body water and total body potassium were studied in 14 patients submitted to proctocolectomy six to 10 years after they had been provided with a continent ileostomy. Total body water was determined with an isotope dilution technique using tritiated water as a tracer. Total body potassium was determined by counting the gamma radiation from the naturally present nuclid 40K in a total body c...
