We provided a curve-fit equation to predict the normal heart weight (g) in Koreans by examining 422 autopsies (215 males and 207 females, from newborn to age 77 yr) who were relatively in good general condition. Heart weight was well correlated with body surface area (m2), body weight (kg), and body height (cm) but poorly with age in both sex. Heart weight progressively increased from birth to ...

Question: Can intrasexual selection on male size and natural selection on female size in the shell-brooding cichlid Lamprologus callipterus explain the greatest male/female sexual size dimorphism (SSD) reported to date among animals? Mathematical methods: (1) Mortality model to predict male and female body sizes. (2) Gain rate maximization and (3) combined mortality/gain rate maximization model...

purpose the purpose of the present study was to evaluate effects of regular practice of sun salutation on muscle strength, general body endurance and body composition. methods subjects (49 male and 30 female) performed 24 cycles of sun salutation, 6 days a week for 24 weeks. upper body muscle strength was determined by 1 repetition maximum (1rm) for bench press and shoulder press technique. bac...

The current study was conducted to investigate the effects of genetic and non-genetic factors on body weight and carcass traits of Japanese quails. Two strains of Japanese quail (150 wild quails and 150 white quails) were used as base population. Four mating groups were used to produce progenies: wild male × wild female, white male × wild female, wild male × white female and white male × white ...
