The relative proportions and distributions of lean and fat components depend on age, sex, and other environmental and genetic factors. Weight is a very sensitive measurement, in the sense that it can change from one day to another owing to very minor alterations in body composition; for example...
Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 40 genetic variants associated with obesity and fat distribution [4], the individual contribution of these genes is small and thus cannot fully explain the heritability of obesity. This suggests that there may be other ...
All the cows were from 22 dairy cattle farms in the Beijing Dairy Cattle Center and the Beijing Sanyuan Lvhe Dairy Farming Center where regular and standard performance tests, including measurement of conformation traits, have been carried out since 1999 as part of the Dairy Herd Improvement (...
It is further postulated that developmental pathways play a key role in establishing the distinct identities of adipose progenitors from separate locations and thus in determining (1) the relative size of fat depots, by determining adipocyte number (and size) within each depot, and (2) the ...
Tracking some measurements, such as weight and waist measurement should be done every three months. These are things you are able to do yourself. Taking action Speak with your physician about the risks specific to your illness, the treatment along with the way you live and how it will affect...
(85% of samples) within the data, and the vast majority of sample protocols use mid-eye to fork measurements, we assumed that observations where no length measurement type was reported (0.08% of samples) were mid-eye to fork. No other unique length measurement type accounts for more than ...
Since clinical practice required glucose monitoring, developing sensors for continuous measurement was essential. For instance, Zhao et al. [255] reported an MN-based electrochemical biosensor. The device comprised silk/D-sorbitol pyramidal MN integrated with platinum (Pt) (RE) and silver (Ag) ...
In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in the field of wireless communication for designing a monitoring system to observe the activity of the human body remotely. With the use of wireless body area networks (WBAN), chronic health and physic
on each subject during the initial muscle soreness perception measurement before the resistance exercise challenge. The participants were asked to maintain these three marked locations between testing sessions to avoid error with secondary measurement. The subject was seated in a reclined supine position ...
