background: although parental obesity is a well-established predisposing factor for the development of obesity, associations between regional body compositions, resting metabolic rates (rmr), and physical activity (pa) of parents and their pre-school children remain unknown. the objective of this study was to investigate parent-child correlations for total and regional body compositions, restin...

BACKGROUND It is well known that excess adiposity during childhood may influence pubertal development. However, the extent to which body compositions vary in throughout puberty in boys and girls is currently unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate whether obesity and body compositions correlate with the timing of puberty in boys and girls. METHODS By random cluster sampling, our stu...

The analysis of amino acids in meteorites dates back over 50 years; however, it is only in recent years that research has expanded beyond investigations of a narrow set of meteorite groups (exemplified by the Murchison meteorite) into meteorites of other types and classes. These new studies have shown a wide diversity in the abundance and distribution of amino acids across carbonaceous chondrit...
