A study has been made of the effect of diphenylhydantoin (DPH) upon the levels of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) and succinic dehydrogenase in rat Purkinje cells. DPH was administered over 26 days in chronic experiments using controls receiving the same injection vehicle without DPH. Animals in this group received daily 1.25 mg/kg body weight, 12.5 mg/kg body weight, and 50 mg/kg body weight DP...

Total Body Water (TBW) was measured in a group of 20 healthy adult Indian men and 10 women by the deuterated water dilution technique and their body composition was determined by applying a hydration factor of 0.7194 for fat free mass (FFM). The TBW in the male subjects whose mean body weight was 49.8 +/- 6.7 kg, was 60.6 +/- 3.2% of body weight (range 55.8%-65.4%), from which a FFM of 41.9 +/-...

conclusions ramadan fasting resulted in weight loss even it was only a temporary effect, as the weight was quickly regained within one month after fasting. the catabolism catabolic state, which is related to protein loss, was not triggered during ramadan fasting. further research is needed to evaluate the effects of weight loss during ramadan fasting in healthy individuals. results by the 28th ...

INTRODUCTION The use of peripheral hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) is the cell choice in autologous transplantation. The classic dose of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) for mobilization is a single daily dose of 10μg/kg of patient body weight. There is a theory that higher doses of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor applied twice daily could increase the number of CD34(+)...

BACKGROUND The present study compares two different weight reduction regimens both with a moderately high protein intake on body composition, serum hormone concentration and strength performance in non-competitive female athletes. METHODS Fifteen normal weighted women involved in recreational resistance training and aerobic training were recruited for the study (age 28.5 +/- 6.3 yr, height 16...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the quality of weight change (change in fat mass vs fat-free mass [FFM]), changes in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), and frequencies of metabolic risk factors in adolescent females with obesity who either lost or gained weight following lifestyle treatment. STUDY DESIGN Fifty-eight girls (mean age = 13.0 ± 1.6 years; 77% black; mean body mass index = 36.5 ± 4.5 kg/m(2))...

An experiment using 81 crossbred swine was conducted to evaluate quantitative and percentage chemical compositional changes of swine from 1.5 kg (birth) to 145 kg body weight. Groups of eight pigs were sacrificed at 1.5, 6.4 and 18 kg, and then at 18 kg increments to 145 kg. Body composit ion was determined by grinding the entire body, minus digesta, partit ioning the carcass from other body co...
