Beef heifers, 13 months old, were fed to achieve high (7.6 +/- 0.2 units) or low (3.9 +/- 0.1 units) body condition by feeding them one of two diets for 20 weeks. During week 17 of the growth phase, all heifers were ovariectomized. From week 20 to week 27 (restriction phase), all heifers were fed a daily diet containing 0.071 MJ metabolizable energy kg-1 body weight. At weekly intervals through...

This study explored the moderating effects of body dissatisfaction (BD) on the relationships between various constructs of control and weight restricting and control behaviours (WRCBs). Participants were 167 female undergraduates who completed self-report measures of control, BD and WRCBs. It was found that higher external locus of control (LOC) was related to less dieting and exercise and that...

A total of 192 Hyplus rabbits (male and female ratio 1:1) of weaning age 35 d were randomly divided into three experimental groups (n=64 each), group 1 was fed ad libitum (control), group 2 (R50) was restricted from 42 to 49 d of age (50 g/d/rabbit), and group 3 (R65) was restricted from 42 to 49 d of age (65 g/d/rabbit). After the restriction time, all the groups were back to ad libitum feedin...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Decreasing energy intake relative to energy expenditure is the indisputable tenet of weight loss. In addition to caloric restriction modification of the type of dietary fat may provide further benefits. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of energy restriction alone and with dietary fat modification on weight loss and adiposity, as well as on risk factors ...

BACKGROUND Significant associations between visceral fat and alterations in plasma fatty acids have been identified in overweight individuals. However, there are scant data regarding the relationships of the visceral fat area (VFA) with the plasma fatty acid profiles and desaturase activities following weight loss. We investigated the effect of weight loss with mild calorie restriction on the c...
