Plants are autotrophic and photosynthetic organisms that both produce and consume sugars.
Soluble sugars are highly sensitive to environmental stresses, which act on the supply of …

… by a very low L/C ratio but we still do not know whether this is associated with negative
consequences on health. An optimal L/C ratio may be associated with maintenance of metabolic …

Body composition refers to the amount of fat and lean tissues in our body; it is a science that
looks beyond a unit of body weight, accounting for the proportion of different tissues and its …

Background Emerging evidence on body composition suggests that sarcopenic obesity (obesity
with depleted muscle mass) might be predictive of morbidity and mortality in non-…

Introduction: Loss of skeletal muscle mass and function (sarcopenia) is common in individuals
with obesity due to metabolic changes associated with a sedentary lifestyle, adipose …

Human body composition is important in numerous cancer research domains. Our objective
was to evaluate clinically accessible methods to achieve practical and precise measures of …

Amphibians, and especially the anurans (frogs and toads), exhibit a greater diversity of
reproductive modes than other tetrapod vertebrates. Twenty-nine reproductive modes have been …

… Sarcopenia was defined using the cut off point for lumbar skeletal muscle index of <38.5
cm 2 /m 2 for women as described by Prado et al. (2). Total LBM was estimated from muscle …

In this Letter, comprehensive results on π ± , K ± , K S 0 , p( p ) and Λ ( Λ ) production at mid-rapidity
( 0 < y CMS < 0.5 ) in p–Pb collisions at s NN = 5.02 TeV , measured by the ALICE …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Sarcopenia, defined as a low level of muscle mass, occurs in patients
with cirrhosis. We assessed its incidence among cirrhotic patients undergoing evaluation …
