this study examined the possible effects of lycopene at physiological dosage and body fat mass on the humoral immune response in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm). a total of 35 patients with typ2 diabetes mellitus from both sexes aged 54±9 yrs from the iranian diabetes society were introduced into a double blind placebo controlled clinical trial conducted for 2 months. after a 2-we...

purpose the purpose of this investigation was to compare a practical measurement of fat free mass index (ffmi) from bioelectrical impedance analysis (bia) to the dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (dexa) value in collegiate athletes. methods thirty-three male baseball players and 16 female gymnasts volunteered to participate in this study during their respective pre-season. subjects visited the l...

background: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) is considered a major public health problem in the world. weight loss, muscle and fat mass depletion are common nutritional problems in copd patients and are determinant factors in pul­monary function, health status, disability and mortality. in the present study, we assessed nutritional status in copd pa­tients. methods: this cross-secti...

background and objective: in this study due to increasing importance of producing low fat meat products such as low calorie hamburger and in order to developing new and safe product with low fat and saturated fatty acid content and high unsaturated fatty acid, the effect of reducing animal fat content and adding combination of healthier oil, olive oil and canola oil that were used as a substitu...

Although urea placed deep reduces nitrogen (N) loss and increases rice yield, its use is not expanding due to the lack of effective application methods. A study was carried out determine how different techniques affected yield efficiency (NUE) transplanted Aman (cv. BRRI dhan46). The experiment set up in a RCBD design with seven treatments: T1 (deep placement briquettes (DPUB) by hand), T2 (DPU...

results all patients experienced improvement in the wrinkles of the side treated by the combination therapy compared to the other side. in addition, less complication was observed in the side that underwent combination therapy. conclusions our study showed that autologous fat in combination with platelet gel might have better cosmetic results as well as lesser complications in the healing of na...

Fertilizer application is essential in the improvement of soil quality and crop yield; it was therefore necessary to investigate effects integrated inorganic organic base fertilizer on chemical physical properties. This experiment conducted at Ambrose Alli University Teaching Research Farm, Ekpoma, Nigeria. The laid out a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with seven treatments, replicated...

Efficient management of fertilizers and irrigation could mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions increase crop yields. Field experiments were conducted to determine the effects an integrated plant nutrient system (IPNS) water regime—alternate wetting drying (AWD) continuous flooding (CF)—on GHG rice yield. Fertilizer treatments included control (no N), prilled urea (PU), deep placement (UDP), I...
