Hypobaric hypoxia causes body weight reduction in obese subjects.
The reason for weight loss at high altitudes is largely unknown. To date, studies have been unable to differentiate between weight loss due to hypobaric hypoxia and that related to increased physical exercise. The aim of our study was to examine the effect of hypobaric hypoxia on body weight at high altitude in obese subjects. We investigated 20 male obese subjects (age 55.7 +/- 4.1 years, BMI ...
متن کاملRelationship between Basal Metabolic Rate and Serum Parathyroid Hormone and Body Composition in Women with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism
Introduction: Several factors including fat free mass and fat mass can affect Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) as the largest component of daily energy demand. The aim of the current cross-sectional study was to compare BMR in women with secondary hyperparathyroidism and healthy women and to evaluate its relationship with serum Parathyroid Hormone (PTH), fat free mass and fat mass in these subjects. ...
متن کاملDevelopmental plasticity in aerobic performance in deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus).
While several studies have examined the abiotic effects of altitude (low ambient temperatures and hypoxia) on the aerobic performance of small mammals, few have explored the effects of development and maturation at different altitudes on aerobic performance as adults. We examined the basal metabolism and aerobic performance of deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) under four different developmenta...
متن کاملShifts in metabolic demands in growing altricial nestlings illustrate context-specific relationships between basal metabolic rate and body composition.
Basal metabolic rate (BMR) in animals is interpreted as reflecting the size and metabolic intensity of energy-consuming tissues. However, studies investigating relationships between the mass of specific organs and interindividual variation in BMR have produced inconsistent patterns with regard to which organs have the largest impact on BMR variation. Because of the known flexibility in organ ma...
متن کاملRelation between Healthy Eating Index and Resting Metabolic Rate
Background and Objectives: Previouse studies demonstrated inverse association between healthy eating index and alot of chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease and cancer and mortality. Since there are limited study about relation between healthy eating index and reting metabolic rate. considering the results of some studies about the relation between weight, body composition and blood suge...
