Multicompartment body composition analysis in older adults: a cross-sectional s...

Background During aging, changes occur in the proportions of muscle, fat, and bone. Body composition (BC) alterations have a great impact on health, quality of life, and functional capacity. Several equations to predict BC using anthropometric measurements have been developed from a bi-compartmental (2-C) approach that determines only fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM). However, these models have several lim...

Deuterium equilibrium time in saliva of newborn infants

Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T20:54:26Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2009-04-01; There is an increasing interest about the use of stable isotopes for body composition analysis in pediatrics. To ensure the success of total body water analysis by the deuterium dilution method, it is fundamental to determine the equilibrium time (plateau) of deuterium in the body fluid studied. OBJECTI...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-01-01; Less invasive protocols are necessary to study energy expenditure (EE) of cats living in homes for expressing their normal living conditions. The present study compared sampling times and the use of saliva, urine and blood to measure 2H and 18O to apply the doubly labelled water method. In the first stu...
