Increased weight loading reduces body weight and body fat in obese subjects – A proof of concept randomized clinical trial

EClinicalMedicine, 2020
Background: Recently we provided evidence for a leptin-independent homeostatic regulation, the gravitostat, of body weight in rodents. The aim of the present translational proof of concept study was to test the gravitostat hypothesis in humans.

A new method for measuring treadmill belt velocity fluctuations: effects of treadmill type, body mass and locomotion speed

Scientific Reports, 2021
Treadmills are essential to the study of human and animal locomotion as well as for applied diagnostics in both sports and medicine. The quantification of relevant biomechanical and physiological variables requires a precise regulation of treadmill belt ...

Weighing the evidence for a body mass-regulating gravitostat [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018
The intriguing paper by Jansson et al. (1) reports the identification of a body mass-regulating homeostat that operates in rodents independently of leptin. In response to implantation of capsules weighing 15% of body weight the authors observed that ∼80% of this load was offset by a reduction in biological body weight.

Current State of SLC and ABC Transporters in the Skin and Their Relation to Sweat Metabolites and Skin Diseases

Proteomes, 2021
With a relatively large surface area (2 m2) and 15% of total body mass, the skin forms the largest organ of the human body. The main functions of the skin include regulation of body temperature by insulation or sweating, regulation of the nervous system,

Going High to Keep Body Mass Low: How Post-Exercise Exposure to a Simulated High Altitude Influences Energy Balance—A Proof-of-Concept Pilot Study

Obesities
A healthy body mass contributes to a positive quality of life, and for overweight/obese individuals, weight loss of even modest proportions improves health-related outcomes. A novel approach to promoting body mass regulation is to pair exercise with high

Genetical genomics of growth in a chicken model

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background The genetics underlying body mass and growth are key to understanding a wide range of topics in biology, both evolutionary and developmental. Body mass and growth traits are affected by many genetic variants of small effect.

Effects of photoperiod on body mass, thermogenesis and body composition in Eothenomys miletus during cold exposure [PDF]

Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2012
Many small mammals respond to seasonal changes in photoperiod by altering body mass and adiposity. These animals may provide valuable models for understanding the regulation of energy balance.

Influence of body mass and environmental oxygen tension on the oxygen consumption rates of an enteropneust, Glossobalanus crozieri

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1997
The present study deals with a species of enteropneust, Glossobalanus crozieri, focusing on two aspects of its respiration: a) oxygen consumption and body mass, and b) the influence of environmental oxygen tension on the respiratory rate.
