this study demonstrates the changes in six different pathophysiological parameters such as body weight, body temperature, fecal pellet count, blood-brain barrier (bbb) permeability, plasma corticosterone level and emergence of hemorrhagic peptic ulcer spots due to exposure to high environmental heat in three different age groups of freely moving rats. methods: each age group of rats was sub div...

The composition of weight change has a large impact on energy balance calculations. Composition of long-term weight change interventions is well-documented, but information on short-term weight change under unrestricted free-living conditions is limited. The composition and energy density of the changes in body weight during 2-week free-living conditions were analyzed in adults from two cohorts...

Little is known about the relationship between lower-limb amputation (LLA) and subsequent changes in body weight. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using clinical and administrative databases to identify and follow weight changes in 759 males with amputation (partial foot amputation [PFA], n = 396; transtibial amputation [TTA], n = 267; and transfemoral amputation [TFA], n = 96) and 3,7...

Regular physiological observations were made on the members of the NorwegianBritish-Swedish Expedition 1949-52 (NBSX) to the Antarctic (Giaever, 1954) during their 2-year stay in the Antarctic as well as before they left for the south and after they returned home. The NBSX landed in the Antarctic in February 1950 and departed in January 1952. Accounts of the climate and working conditions on th...

In accordance with the dramatic increase in the obesity rate, around 20% of Korean women of reproductive age have been estimated to be obese (body mass index [BMI] ≥25 kg/m) by the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey [1], a percentage that is similar to the American data [2]. Obese women tend to experience more menstrual irregularity than nonobese women, resulting in a higher...

The majority of laboratory animals were transported from commercial breeders to a research facility by ground transportation. During the transportation, many biological functions and systems can be affected by stress. In this experiment, the change of body weight during the transportation was measured and the recovery periods from the transportation stress established based on the body weight c...

background: the effects of aqueous extract of fadogia agrestis stem at the doses of 18, 36, and 72 mg/kg body weight on alloxan-induced toxicity was investigated in wistar rats. methods: in total, 35 rats of both sexes (132.80±7.22g) were randomized into five groups (a-e): animals in group a received 0.5 ml of distilled water orally on daily basis for 15 days while the alloxanized rats in group...

the objective of the present study was to detect polymorphism in follicle stimulating hormone receptor (fshr) and beta subunit of follicle stimulating hormone (fshβ) genes and their relation to litter size and body weight trait in baluchi, iran black and arman sheep breeds. pcr-rflp technique using acci and hinfi enzyme treatments employed to detection of polymorphism in fshβ marker site but de...
