Relation of Absolute or Relative Adiposity to Insulin Resistance, Retinol Binding Protein-4, Leptin, and Adiponectin in Type 2 Diabetes [PDF]
Diabetes & Metabolism Journal, 2012 BackgroundCentral fat mass (CFM) correlates with insulin resistance and increases the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular complications; however, peripheral fat mass (PFM) is associated with insulin sensitivity.

(S)fermion Masses in Fat Brane Scenario [PDF]
, 2002 We discuss the fermion mass hierarchy and the flavor mixings in the fat brane scenario of a five dimensional SUSY theory. Assuming that the matter fields lives in the bulk, their zero mode wave functions are Gaussians, and Higgs fields are localized on ...

Fat mass is negatively associated with the physiological ability of tissue to consume oxygen
Motriz: Revista de Educacao Fisica, 2018 Aims: To describe the relationship between variables related to body composition and peak oxygen uptake ( V ˙ O 2peak) and to verify whether fat mass can affect these relationships.

Relationship between relative fat mass and infertility: A cross-sectional study. [PDF]
Medicine (Baltimore)Infertility is closely related to obesity. Relative fat mass (RFM) is a newer index for assessing percentage of body fat, which reflects the amount of body fat better than body mass index (BMI), but its relationship with infertility needs further study. The purpose of this study was to assess whether there was an association between RFM and infertility

Intrarectal administration of hCG (Human Choriogonadotropin) and fat loss as assessed by Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in experimental animals. [PDF]
, 2012 Our studies suggest that in experimental animals, submitted to a hypocaloric diet, the intrarectal administration of hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) decreases body fat and increases lean mass content in relative values to a greater extent that control

Knee joint neuromuscular activation performance during muscle damage and superimposed fatigue [PDF]
, 2012 This study examined the concurrent effects of exercise-induced muscle damage and superimposed acute fatigue on the neuromuscular activation performance of the knee flexors of nine males (age: 26.7 ± 6.1yrs; height 1.81 ± 0.05m; body mass 81.2 ± 11.7kg ...

Assessment of muscle mass relative to fat mass and associations with physical functioning in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
Rheumatology, 2017 To determine whether a novel measure of appendicular lean mass relative to fat mass is associated with physical functioning in RA.In a cross-sectional design, three independent RA cohorts were retrospectively analysed. Whole-body DXA measures of appendicular lean mass index (ALMI, kg/m 2 ) and fat mass index (FMI, kg/m 2 ) were converted to age, sex ...
