ABSTRACT
 Background: Extracellular mass/body cell mass (ECM/BCM) ratio is a independent predictor mortality in nutritional status and certain chronic disease. ECM/BCM ratio is influenced by various factors such as muscle mass, blood cells, bone mass, tendons, total body water, and certain chronic diseases.
 Objective: Determine factors associated with elderly ECM/BCM ratio in Jakarta nursing home.
 Methods: This observational cross-sectional study was conducted in four nursing home in Jakarta. Nutritional status measured with Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) score, Body Mass I

Existing models to estimate the metabolically active body cell mass (BCM) component in vivo remain incompletely developed. The classic Moore model is based on an assumed BCM potassium content of 120 mmol/kg. Our objectives were to develop an improved total body potassium (TBK)-independent BCM prediction model on the basis of an earlier model (Cohn SH, Vaswani AN, Yasumura S, Yuen K, and Ellis KJ.

Abstract:
Body mass affects many biological traits, but its impacts on immune defences are fairly unknown. Recent research on mammals found that neutrophil concentrations disproportionately increased (scaled hypermetrically) with body mass, a result not predicted by any existing theory. Although the scaling relationship for mammals might predict how leucocyte concentrations scale with body mass in other vertebrates, vertebrate classes are distinct in many ways that might affect their current and historic interactions with parasites and hence the evolution of their immune systems.

In birds, body mass correlated positively with the size of all cell types including erythrocytes, and in mammals only with the sizes of some cell types. Size of mammalian erythrocytes correlated with

Abstract:
Hepatocytes were isolated from nine species of mammal of different body mass (and standard metabolic rate). The cells were incubated under identical conditions and oxygen consumption measured. The rate of oxygen consumption (per unit mass of cells) scaled with body mass with exponent -0.18. In general, there was a 5.5-fold decrease in oxygen consumption rate with a 12,500-fold increase in body mass. The decrease in oxygen consumption rate was not due to an increase in cell volume with increasing body mass but to a decrease in intrinsic metabolic activity of the cells. This novel finding confir

However, BCM assessment with usual isotopic or tracer methods is impractical in intensive care units (ICUs).

The pancreases from a total of 86 male pigs from 5 to 100 days of age were studied.

Lean tissue and fluids containing electrolytes conduct the current and cell membranes serve as capacitors and account for capacitive resistance. Fat and bone are poor conductors.

The T-cell-mediated immune response (CMI) of birds, measured with the phytohaemagglutinin skin test, is in most cases positively correlated with their body mass. This correlation, however, does not imply causality, since high-quality birds may be more immunocompetent as well as heavier at the time of sampling. We assessed this relationship experimentally by measuring the changes in body mass and CMI in individual captive yellow-legged gulls (Larus cachinnans) maintained with food provided ad libitum (control group), with no food (fasting group), or with one-third of their daily food requiremen
