Introduction to Whole Body Composition

DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS In 6-year-old children (n=377) from the Growing Up in Singapore Towards healthy Outcomes (GUSTO) prospective birth cohort, whole-body composition was measured by quantitative magnetic resonance, a novel validated technology.

Whole-body composition was similar across dietary treatments.

05) differences in terms of weight gain, feed efficiency (FE), whole-body composition, hepatosomatic index (HSI), intraperitoneal fat ratio (IPF ratio), or muscle yield.

The effect of spirulina enhanced aquaponic system on growth, feed utilization, haematological parameters and whole-body composition of O.

No differences between groups were observed on growth performance, voluntary feed intake, feed efficiency, nitrogen utilization, and whole-body composition.

Dietary ARA/DHA profile did not affect the whole-body composition, but dietary starch increased whole-body dry matter, lipid, and gross energy content and decreased protein content.

Protein level or starch source had no impact on final weight, length, average daily gain, specific growth rate, food conversion ratio, hepato somatic index, viscero somatic index, and Whole-body composition of fish.

autoethanogenum) protein on growth, whole-body composition, plasma parameters, and hepatic genes expression related to growth and AMPK/TOR/PI3K signaling pathway of the genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT:Oreochromis niloticus) juveniles.

The present study assessed the effects of incorporating sea clam (Senilia senilis)meat mealas a partial replacement for fishmeal on the growth performance, survival and whole-body composition of Nile Tilapia Oreochromis niloticus fry(0.

At the end of the experiment, fish behavioral responses, clinical signs, survivability, growth, whole-body composition, intestinal digestive enzymes, serum biochemical parameters, hepatic antioxidative biomarkers, and transcription of stress and apoptosis genes were assessed.

05); however, fish fed the DH50 diet had a significant higher proportion of crude protein of whole-body composition (P < 0.

Furthermore, higher digestibility (%) of nutrients (dry matter, crude protein and ash) and improved whole-body composition was also exhibited by fish fed with D3 (P<0.

The whole-body composition was comparable between the NGT and IGT groups.

However, TB supplementation in feed had no significant effects on SR, CF, VSI or whole-body composition (P>0.

An experiment was carried out to determine the effect of replacing dietary fish meal protein with earthworm meal protein on growth performance, whole-body composition, and hematology of butter catfish (Ompok pabda).

This review suggests that future research should prioritize reliability and validity studies on: (1) DXA as a surrogate ‘gold standard’ tool to assess whole-body composition, regional fat and fat-free mass; and (2) skinfold thickness and waist circumference as practical low-cost tools to assess regional fat mass in persons with SCI, and (3) females to explore potential sex differences of body composition assessment tools.

heudelotti has no adverse effect on the growth, survival and whole-body composition of Nile tilapia fry.

Aims: To evaluate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and whole-body composition in patients with congenital hypogonadism and investigate the effects of replacement therapy with testosterone undecanoate on MS, insulin resistance (IR), and whole-body composition in subset of patients.

Whole-body composition did not substantially improve mortality prediction compared to basic anthropometrics alone, but regional composition did, with high trunk fat-free mass and low limb fat-free mass both associated with elevated mortality risk.

We examined the relationship between oophorectomy and whole-body composition.

Whole-body composition parameters (e.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of fish meal replacement with a mixture of plant, and animal protein supplemented with a commercial nucleotide NucleoforceFish™, on growth, feed utilization, whole-body composition, biometric indices; liver mitochondrial enzyme activities, selected gene expression and influence on the gut microbiome of gilthead seabream, Sparus aurata.

At the end of the trial, growth performance and feed utilization were assessed, and fish from all experimental groups were sampled for whole-body composition analysis.

Thereafter, the effects on glutathione peroxidase and antioxidant activities (by radical scavenging activity), growth, and whole-body composition of Nile tilapia were evaluated when they were fed with Se-loaded chitosan nanoparticles and compared with other selenium dietary supplements.

Thus, the present study was conducted to assess dietary supplementation effects of ginger and garlic as feed additives on growth, feed utilization and whole-body composition in Clarias gariepinus fry.

The Whole-body composition of GIFT was not significantly (P greater than 0.

05) found in the whole-body composition except for the crude lipid content, and the highest value was observed in the control group (291 g/kg) compared to the other groups FO5CO1 (232 k/kg), FO4CO2 (212 g/kg), FO2CO4 (232 g/kg) and FO0CO6 (244 g/kg).

0 g initial body weight and results were evaluated for growth performance; whole-body composition; amino acid (AA) catabolism and digestive enzymes activity; nutrients and chitin digestibility.
