Abstract (sommario):

The aim of this work was to compare magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and 3-(TCM) and 4-compartment (FCM) models for the estimation of body fat and changes in fat mass (FM) in man. FM was estimated in 10 obese women by MRI and a TCM based on underwater weighing (UWW) and body water dilution (D<sub>2</sub>O) at the start and end of a 21 day residential weight reducing regimen. Mean (SEM) MRI estimates of FM before weight loss were 3.19 (0.25) kg below values from TCM, however, FM change over the 21 days by MRI agreed well with TCM. In 8 women, intra-abdominal (IAT), subcutaneous (SAT) and total

Abstract (sommario):

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the major health issues of our time. The prevalence of CVD is increasing, both in industrialized and in developing countries, and causes suffering and a decreased quality of life for millions of people worldwide. CVD can have multiple etiologies, but the main underlying cause is atherosclerosis, which causes blood clot formation and obstructs vital arteries. Multiple risk factors of atherosclerosis have been identified, and body fatness is one of the most important ones. The main aims of this thesis were to investigate the relation between body fatness a

Abstract (sommario):

Osteoporosis and obesity are major public health concerns with a combined cost of $164 billion spent in the United States alone. The effect of adipose tissue on bone was thought to be protective however further research suggests there is a detrimental effect through a connection involving the endocrine system. Insulin, adiponectin and leptin all affect the skeletal system and adipose tissue. Excess adipose tissue in individuals correlates with hyperinsulinemia, high levels of leptin and low levels of adiponectin. The connection between adipose tissue and bone is especially important in childre

Increasing the amount of energy derived from fat is likely to have important health and performance applications. This thesis applied contemporary knowledge in order to investigate strategies for optimising whole-body fat oxidation, in male subjects. Study 1 investigated the efficacy of Xenadrine EFXTM (Gx), a weight-loss supplement containing bitter orange, green tea, and guarana, in promoting fat metabolism during 6 h rest. The ingredients in Gx are purported to increase lipolysis and fat oxidation. Indeed, a metabolic effect of Gx was evident. However, carbohydrate oxidation was increased b

Abstract (sommario):

Since the turn of the twentieth century, middle-class Americans have considered the thin body--ostensibly the result of self-control and self-discipline--a moral imperative and a symbol of good citizenship. In this thesis, I provide a critical perspective on fat studies by examining the ways in which the field authorizes itself in a society that deems the fat body unhealthy, costly, and immoral. As one potential solution to fat-hatred, fat studies proposes fat-positivity, but I argue that fat-positivity requires an extraordinary act of imagination in which the fat person overcomes what I term

Thesis (MA)-- Stellenbosch University, 2013.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis provides a critical discussion of, and motivation for, my jewellery practice, in which fat from the human body is transformed into adornment. Drawing on Julia Kristeva’s theory of ‘abjection’, this research scrutinises the grotesque status of body substances in the modern media, with the intention of changing viewer reactions to these substances from repulsion to aesthetic enjoyment. I consider the influence of popular culture, where idealised bodies are promoted as ‘better’ than non-normative body types, and th

Introduction: Deviations from normal fetal growth are associated with abnormal neonatal fat distribution and predispose to lifetime obesity. Factors affecting fetal growth include maternal obesity. Recent evidence suggests that maternal visceral obesity negatively affects fetal fat composition and fetal obstetric outcomes. However, there is a dearth of research investigating the relationship between maternal visceral adiposity and fetal fat composition throughout pregnancy.

Abstract (sommario):

Fat talk refers to the negative, evaluative conversations that women have with each other about their bodies (e.g., "I'm so fat!"). These comments are often driven by negative self-evaluations and engaging in fat talk leads to negative health-related outcomes for the individual. Grounded in confirmation theory, the current research sought to uncover the role of communication in moderating the relationship between fat talk and health-related outcomes (i.e., mental health, body image, and weight management) by focusing on perceptions of both dysfunctional and functional responses to fat talk.

Obesity in adults and children is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. This is forecast to increase markedly in the next decade as childhood obesity is a burgeoning epidemic. Excess weight is clearly associated with insulin resistance, increased circulating triglycerides, and hypertension, all of these are related to progressive heart and liver disease. Ectopic fat deposition within organs is reported to cause lipotoxicity, which may lead to dysfunction and disease, but there have been few human studies to confirm this.
