Endometriosis and Body Fat Distribution
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1993To examine the association of body fat distribution with risk of endometriosis in an effort to determine whether a specific somatotype is related to the disease.We conducted a case-control study of 88 laparoscopically confirmed cases of endometriosis, identified in a specialty gynecologic practice in western New York, and 88 age-matched friend controls.

Body weight, body fat, and ovulation
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1991Women with moderate weight loss (10%-15% of ideal weight) have secondary or primary amenorrhea. Athletic women also may have amenorrhea, or anovulatory cycles, though body weight may be in the normal range, since muscles are heavy (80% water compared with 5%-10% water in adipose tissue).

ON BODY FAT AND BODY WATER IN RATS
Canadian Journal of Biochemistry and Physiology, 1955Under our experimental conditions, water represented 72% of the fat-free body mass. This constant was found to be completely independent of the magnitude of the fat depots. Consideration of the composition of various samples of adipose tissue suggests that the water to fat-free dry matter ratio is the same as in the body as a whole or that any "excess"

Dietary fat is not a major determinant of body fat
The American Journal of Medicine, 2002The percentage of energy from fat in diets has been thought to be an important determinant of body fat, and several mechanisms have been proposed. Comparisons of diets and the prevalence of obesity between affluent and poor countries have been used to support this relationship, but these contrasts are seriously confounded by differences in physical ...

Assessment of cutaneous fat and body fat by ultrasound
Klinische Wochenschrift, 1987A new rapid and simple method is introduced to measure subcutaneous fat and evaluate total body fat. It is based on real-time ultrasound and requires equipment that is used in routine examination of subcutaneous structures, e.g., thyroid gland. Results from seven regions of skin in 100 subjects correlated well with total body weight, Broca's index, and

Fat areas as estimates of total body fat
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1980The efficacy of cross-sectional fat areas in estimating total body fat was investigated in a sample of white American children and adults. Body density and total fat weight (kg) in the body were determined by hydrostatic weighing. Fat areas were calculated for the arm and calf using the appropriate limb circumferences and skinfolds measured at the ...

Body fat, abdominal fat and body fat distribution related to VO2PEAKin young children
International Journal of Pediatric Obesity, 2011Aerobic fitness, defined as maximum oxygen uptake (VO(2PEAK)), and body fat measurements represent two known risk factors for disease. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between VO(2PEAK) and body fat measurements in young children at a population-based level.Cross-sectional study of 225 children (128 boys and 97 girls) aged ...

Dietary fat and body fat: an intervention study.
International journal of obesity and related metabolic disorders : journal of the International Association for the Study of Obesity, 1996Assessment of body composition in relation to the habitual diet and after a six month dietary intervention.After a baseline measurement subjects were randomly assigned to either a group consuming reduced-fat products or a group consuming full-fat products for six months.108 women and 109 men, equally distributed over the age range 19-35 with BMI ...

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses insect fat body, which is a mesodermal tissue composed of a meshwork of loose lobes suspended in the hemocoel and bathed in the insect hemolymph. In certain insect species, mycetocytes (cells containing symbiontic microorganisms) and urocytes (cells containing nitrogenous waste product in the form of uric acid)

Dietary fat and body fat: is there a relationship?
The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, 1998Excess body fat accounts for approximately 30 to 40% of coronary heart disease, many cancers of several types, most cases of adult onset diabetes, and a substantial proportion of cases of disabling osteoarthritis. Diet and lifestyle factors are the primary reasons for the high rates of overweight among individuals in the United States; migrating ...
