Studies examining the effects of diet (D) and diet-plus-exercise (DE) programs on resting metabolic rate (RMR) report equivocal results. The purpose of this study was to use meta-analysis to determine if exercise prevents the decrease in RMR observed with dieting. Results from the 22 studies included in this analysis revealed that the majority of studies used female subjects ages 31-45 years, w...

This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of using L-threonine and reducing dietary levels of crude protein (CP) on egg production criteria in layers. Three hundred of Hy-Line W36 laying hens were used in this experiment. This experiment consisted of three experimental treatments with five replications in each. Experimental treatments included 3 diets with different levels of CP whi...

Introduction: The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of auricular acupuncture/auricular acupressure (AA) on weight loss were studies for decades. However no systematic review and meta-analysis about this approach was reported. Methods: 22 electronic databases were used to search for RCTs of AA on weight loss up to August 2015 without language restrictions. RCTs for the sole AA, AA combining di...
