Estimation of lean body mass in children [PDF]
British Journal of Anaesthesia, 2011 In adults, dosages of some anaesthetic agents are based on lean body mass (LBM) rather than body weight. Our aim was to derive an equation for estimating LBM in children.Patients comprised three groups: prospective kidney transplant donors from two separate centres (centres 1 and 3) and children referred to a further centre (centre 2) for the routine ...

Pharmacology of manipulating lean body mass [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, 2014 SummaryDysfunction and wasting of skeletal muscle as a consequence of illness decreases the length and quality of life. Currently, there are few, if any, effective treatments available to address these conditions. Hence, the existence of this unmet medical need has fuelled large scientific efforts.

Lean mass as a risk factor for intensive care unit admission: an observational study
Critical Care, 2021 Purpose Intensive care unit (ICU) survivors have reduced physical function likely due to skeletal muscle wasting and weakness acquired during critical illness. However, the contribution of pre-morbid muscle mass has not been elucidated.

Impact of glycogen resynthesis on lean mass [PDF]
Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, 2014 Background It has frequently been demonstrated that resistance training has a negative effect on muscle glycogen content. Additionally, the rate of resynthesis seems to be dependent upon the degree of depletion. However, the impact of glycogen resynthesis on lean mass in a resistance trained population consuming a very low carbohydrate diet has yet to ...

Regulation of lean mass, bone mass, and exercise tolerance by the central melanocortin system. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Signaling via the type 4-melanocortin receptor (MC4R) is an important determinant of body weight in mice and humans, where loss of function mutations lead to significant obesity.
