Is lean mass quantity or quality the determinant of maximal fat oxidation capacity? The potential mediating role of cardiorespiratory fitness

Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition
Background Impaired fat oxidation is linked to cardiometabolic risk. Maximal fat oxidation rate (MFO) reflects metabolic flexibility and is influenced by lean mass, muscle strength, muscle quality – defined as the ratio of strength to mass – and ...

Bone Mass, Lean Mass, and Fat Mass: Same Genes or Same Environments? [PDF]

American Journal of Epidemiology, 1998
The contributions of genetic and environmental factors to the association among bone mineral density (BMD), lean mass, and fat mass were assessed in the Sydney Twin Study of Osteoporosis (Australia), 1995-1996, in 57 monozygotic and 55 dizygotic female twin pairs of Caucasian background, aged 52.8 (standard deviation, 13) years.

Genetic Variant in ACVR2B Is Associated with Lean Mass [PDF]

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2016
Low lean mass (LM) is a risk factor for chronic disease, a major cause of disability and diminished quality of life, and is a heritable trait. However, relatively few specific genetic factors have been identified as potentially influencing this trait.In this study, we selected 1493 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in 155 candidate genes involved ...

Weight-adjusted lean body mass and calf circumference are protective against obesity-associated insulin resistance and metabolic abnormalities

Heliyon, 2017
Background: To test the hypothesis that preserved muscle mass is protective against obesity-associated insulin resistance and metabolic abnormalities, we analyzed the relationship of lean body mass and computed tomography-assessed sectional areas of ...
