A fat mass and obesity-associated gene polymorphism influences fat mass in exercise-trained individuals

Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, 2018
Background A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene is a strong predictor of obesity in humans. The FTO SNP (rs1421085) results in a T to C nucleotide substitution that may result in an increased risk for ...

Dirac-K\"ahler approach connected to quantum mechanics in Grassmann space [PDF]

, 1999
We compare the way one of us got spinors out of fields, which are a priori antisymmetric tensor fields, to the Dirac-K\"ahler rewriting. Since using our Grassmann formulation is simple it may be useful in describing the Dirac-K\"ahler formulation of ...

The relationship between adiposity, bone density and microarchitecture is maintained in young women irrespective of diabetes status [PDF]

, 2017
Background: The relationship between bone health and adiposity and how it may be affected in people with chronic metabolic conditions is complex. Methods: 17 women with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and 9 age-matched healthy women with a median ...

Use of allometry and skinfold thicknesses to estimate the fat mass of circumpubertal boys

Annals of Human Biology, 2020
Background: In the pubertal period, each part of the body grows at different rates. This makes the relationship between the parts nonlinear. Particularly, the fat mass (FM) of boys tends to decrease, further exacerbating the issue of linearity in growth.

Bone biology in the elderly: clinical importance for fracture treatment

Innovative Surgical Sciences, 2016
Age-related bone impairment often leads to fragility fractures in the elderly. Although excellent surgical care is widely provided, diagnosis and treatment of the underlying bone disorder are often not kept in mind.

Improved precision with Hologic Apex software. [PDF]

, 2008
UnlabelledThe precision of Hologic Apex v2.0 analysis software is significantly improved from Hologic Delphi v11.2 software and is comparable to GE Lunar Prodigy v7.5 software. Apex and Delphi precisions were, respectively, 1.0% vs. 1.2% (L1-L4 spine), 1.

Bone health after bariatric surgery: Consequences, prevention, and treatment

Advanced Biomedical Research, 2022
One of the most critical complications of bariatric surgery (BS), which has been widely discussed recently, is its adverse effects on the health of the bones and skeletal system. Studies show that bone mineral density (BMD) decreases significantly in the
