...Kevin EVANS; Mo L. CLARK; Keith N. FRAYN Leptin is secreted by adipocytes and plays a role in the regulation of food intake. However, the regulation of leptin production by adipose tissue is unclear. We have investigated whether a mixed meal or a high-fat load given orally, or a pure fat load given...

... mediating role of circulating catecholamines and insulin. 2. Healthy young subjects were studied before and after ingestion of isocaloric, isovolumetric high-protein, carbohydrate or fat meals (80–85% of total energy), 60 kJ per kg of body weight. Multigated radionuclide cardiography with autologous 99m Tc...

... and the other in samples of pork meat, the effect of depth and tissue thickness on the measured composition was assessed. In the latter study the measured fat mass was compared with that measured by direct analysis. 2. All data indicated a trend in the measured fat mass with depth, such that more fat...

... rise in cardiac output occurred with the balanced, protein and carbohydrate diets but not with the fat diet. The greatest rise was seen with the balanced diet. Water alone had no effect on cardiac output. 3. The average time taken to reach peak cardiac output was shortest with the carbohydrate diet...

...A. M. Forsberg; E. Nilsson; J. Werneman; J. Bergström; E. Hultman 1. A method is described enabling the determination of fat, water, electrolytes, protein, DNA, RNA and total creatine in a single sample of human muscle obtained by the percutaneous needle-biopsy technique. The amino acid content can...

... body water (TBW) by loss of weight after freeze-drying and for body fat by adiabatic bomb calorimetry after subtraction of protein energy. 3. TBN results by the two methods were in good agreement, the precision by NAA (coefficient of variation = 1.5%) being superior to that by chemical analysis...

...J. I. Mann; G. S. Watermeyer; E. B. Manning; J. Randles; A. S. Truswell 1. Each of nine volunteers was fed three different diets. The percentage of total daily energy provided by fat, carbohydrate and protein remained constant, but the nature of the fat and carbohydrate was altered. The first diet...
