PURPOSE This study investigated the effect of exercise training and resveratrol supplementation with low fat diet on proinflammatory profiles by Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulation in peritoneal macrophage of high fat diet mice. METHODS To accomplish the purpose of this study, C57BL/6 male mice were fed high fat diet (45% fat diet) for 8 weeks. Then these mice were divided into 3 groups; HLC...

Despite a shortage of animal feed in Iran, cereal stubble is often underutilized due to agro-economic reasons. On the other hand, lambs fed with a conventional fattening ration deposit a considerable amount of fat; therefore, this experiment was conducted aimed at better utilization of cereal stubble and reducing the fat content of lamb carcasses. Fat-tailed Mehraban and Ghezel ram lambs were p...

The aim of this article was to verify the sensitivity and specificity of the body mass index (BMI) cut-off points proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Nutrition Screening Initiative (NSI) for the diagnosis of obesity in the elderly. A cross-sectional study was made with 180 healthy elderly subjects from Florianópolis, Santa Catarina State, Brazil. Body fat percentage (%BF) wa...

background: the study was conducted to examine the comparability of the bmi and gallagher’s classification in diagnosing obesity based on the cutoff points of the gold standards and to estimate suitable cutoff points for detecting obesity among iranians. methods: the cross-sectional study was comparative in nature. the sample consisted of 20,163 adults. the bioelectrical impedance analysis (bia...

BACKGROUND Intrauterine growth retardation due to maternal under-nutrition increases susceptibility to obesity and insulin resistance. We reported earlier in the offspring of mineral or vitamin restricted rat dams, a high body fat percentage and decreased insulin secretion to glucose challenge. This study determined whether or not central adiposity and altered adipocytokine profile were associa...

Targeted disruption of mouse beta3-adrenoceptor was generated by homologous recombination, and validated by an acute in vivo study showing a complete lack of effect of the beta3-adrenoceptor agonist CL 316,243 on the metabolic rate of homozygous null (-/-) mice. In brown adipose tissue, beta3-adrenoceptor disruption induced a 66% decrease (P < 0.005) in beta1-adrenoceptor mRNA level, whereas le...

Two experiments investigated the quantitative relationship between dietary fat and fatty acid composition of pork. Experiment 1 was designed to establish the rate of decline for linoleic acid and iodine value of pork fat during the late fattening phase following a dietary reduction. Gilts (n = 288) were fed diets varying in linoleic acid content from 4.11 to 1.56% for 4, 6, or 8 wk prior to sla...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of body mass index on fundamental motor skills performance in 7-8-year-old boys in hamedan. forthis purpose, 72 elementary students were selected via cluster randomization from the elementary schools of hamedan and divided into three groups: fat, normal, and thin according to percentile diagram. then, tgmd-2 was performed by children and ...
