Effects of Nandrolone Decanoate on Muscle Strength, Body Composition and Bone Density: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
J Cachexia Sarcopenia MuscleABSTRACT Background Despite ongoing interest in anabolic therapies for sarcopenia and cachexia, pharmacological interventions are being developed to counteract age‐ and condition‐related losses of muscle mass and strength. This systematic review and meta‐analysis evaluated the effect of nandrolone decanoate on lean soft tissue (LST), fat mass, handgrip

Reference Methods for Measuring Skeletal Muscle Mass: A Critical Perspective. [PDF]
J Cachexia Sarcopenia MuscleABSTRACT Skeletal muscle (SM) is an integral organ component in the pathophysiology of many acute and chronic diseases. But is there a ‘gold’ standard or accepted reference method for quantifying the amount and composition of human SM mass? Exploring that question led us to recognize the existence of a SM measurement paradigm that divides methods into ...

A simple equation to estimate body fat percentage in children with overweightness or obesity: a retrospective study [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Background Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) provides separate measurements of fat mass, fat-free mass and bone mass, and is a quick, accurate, and safe technique, yet one that is not readily available in routine clinical practice.
