The metabolic cost of physical activity in mice using a physiology-based model of energy expenditure
Molecular Metabolism, 2023 Objective: Physical activity is a major component of total energy expenditure (TEE) that exhibits extreme variability in mice. Our objective was to construct a general, physiology-based model of TEE to accurately quantify the energy cost of physical ...

Predictive equation for basal metabolic rate of young Indian soldiers
Asian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2016 Background: Currently, no specific predictive equation for BMR has been developed for the Indian armed forces whose BMR is expected to be higher compared to that of the general population because a greater proportion of their body weight is typically ...

Physiological Reports, 2022 Human platelet polyphosphate (polyP) is a multifunctional molecule; however, its functions are not yet fully understood. A recent study demonstrated that similar to skeletal muscle, polyP is involved in energy metabolism in platelets, which suggests that

To boldly gulp: standard metabolic rate and boldness have context-dependent influences on risk-taking to breathe air in a catfish [PDF]
, 2015 The African sharptooth catfish Clarias gariepinus has bimodal respiration, it has a suprabranchial air-breathing organ alongside substantial gills. We used automated bimodal respirometry to reveal that undisturbed juvenile catfish (N=29) breathed air ...

Resource allocation, hyperphagia and compensatory growth [PDF]
, 2004 Organisms often shown enhanced growth during recovery from starvation, and can even overtake continuously fed conspecifics (overcompensation). In an earlier paper (Ecology 84, 2777-2787), we studied the relative role played by hyperphagia and resource ...

Metabolism and thermoregulation in the tree shrew, Tupaia belangeri [PDF]
Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2012 Maximum metabolic rate is a physiological limitation that is an important for animals' survival, reproduction and geographic. Basal metabolic rate (BMR), nonshivering thermogenesis (NST), and maximum metabolic rate (MMR) were measured was in a small ...

Adiponectin Deficiency Impairs Maternal Metabolic Adaptation to Pregnancy in Mice. [PDF]
, 2017 Hypoadiponectinemia has been widely observed in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). To investigate the causal role of hypoadiponectinemia in GDM, adiponectin gene knockout (Adipoq-/- ) and wild-type (WT) mice were crossed to produce ...

Aging, Basal Metabolic Rate, and Nutrition.
Nippon Ronen Igakkai Zasshi. Japanese Journal of Geriatrics, 1993 Age is one of the most important factor of changes in energy metabolism. The basal metabolic rate decreases almost linearly with age. Skeletal musculature is a fundamental organ that consumes the largest part of energy in the normal human body. The total volume of skeletal muscle can be estimated by 24-hours creatinine excretion. The volume of skeletal

High serum osteopontin levels are associated with prevalent fractures and worse lipid profile in post-menopausal women with type 2 diabetes [PDF]
, 2018 Purpose: Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) have increased fracture risk. Osteopontin (OPN) is a protein involved in bone remodeling and inflammation.
