We formulate quenched chiral perturbation theory for heavy-light mesons coupled to pions, and calculate the one-loop chiral logarithmic corrections to fB, fBs , BB and BBs . We also calculate these corrections for “partially quenched” theories. In both theories, the chiral logarithms diverge in the chiral limit, indicating that (partially) quenched theories should not be used to study this limi...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of fasting and exogenous insulin administration on the expression of growth hormone receptor (GHR) and IGF-I mRNA in the pre-ovulatory follicle of ewes. Fifteen ewes received an intravaginal progesterone releasing device that was removed 6 days later (day of removal = day 0). On day -2, the ewes were divided into three groups: (i) fasting grou...

There is a continuing need for new and efficient weight-control methods due to the long-lasting consequences of obesity pandemic on public health outcomes. Intermittent fasting, which comprises variety timing regimens temporary food avoidance, such as alternate-day alternative full-day fasting patterns, time-restricted feeding, one strategy enhancing weight metabolic The irregular conversion fa...

These studies were designed to determine whether the insulin resistance of fasting extends to its antilipolytic effects and whether fasting enhances the lipolytic effects ofadrenergic stimulation independent ofchanges in plasma hormone and substrate concentrations. Palmitate flux was determined isotopically (il-'4Cjpalmitate) before and during epinephrine infusion in normal volunteers after a 1...

OBJECTIVE Verify whether the postoperative fasting period increases the risk for infection and prolonged length of stay. METHODS Prospective cohort study. Elective surgery patients were included. Excluded: those with no conditions for nutritional assessment, admitted in minimal care units, as well as with <72h in-hospital stay. Postoperative fasting was recorded from the days of no nutrition ...

background: the pattern of islamic fasting differs from other forms of fasting, therefore its effect on health also differs. this research studies the effect of islamic fasting on gonadotropin hormones around the time of the ovulatory cycle and ovulation. materials and methods: this self-controlled study was performed on 24 adult females. blood sampling was performed during ramadan and two mont...

This article has been developed to address the impact of intermittent fasting on body composition obese individuals. Presently there are about 650 million obesity-affected individuals worldwide. Intermittent is primarily implemented and practised contribute better health conditions weight loss. The prevalence measured by a BMI above 25, identified as overweight 30, obese. paper systematic liter...
