1. 1. EFFECT OF ENDOCRINE DISRUPTING MIXTURES AND CHEMICALS ON THE OXYGEN CONSUMPTION RATE OF ZEBRAFISH LARVAE

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Lieke van Iersel; [2022-08-08]
   Keywords : oxygen consumption; zebrafish larvae; respirometry; endocrine disrupting chemicals; mixture toxicity;

   Abstract : Chemicals affecting the endocrine system, so called endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC’s), have been steadily increasing in the environment over the last 40 years. EDCs are harmful chemicals since they can act through multiple endocrine pathways, contain a wide spectrum of health effects that can be very persistent and can cause effects already at a low doses.

3. 2. Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) estimation using Probabilistic Graphical Models

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statistiska institutionen

   Author : Zara Jackson; [2019]
   Keywords : Basal Metabolic Rate; Resting Metabolic Rate; Dynamic Bayesian Networks; Temporal Models; Food Tracking; Calories; Obesity; Pymc3; Probabilistic Programming;

   Abstract : Obesity is a growing problem globally. Currently 2.3 billion adults are overweight, and this number is rising. The most common method for weight loss is calorie counting, in which to lose weight a person should be in a calorie deficit. READ MORE

4. 3. Physiological characteristics of sodium lactate infusion during resistance exercise

   University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för idrotts- och hälsovetenskap

   Author : Sebastian Danielsson; [2019]
   Keywords : sodium lactate; sodium lactate infusion; infusion; resistance exercise; knee-extensor; vastus lateralis; metabolic effects; hematological effects; plasma lactate; muscle lactate; muscle content of lactate; MHC; fiber type; blood pH; muscle pH; blood lactate; blood sodium; blood potassium; blood glucose; hemoglobin; in vivo; randomized; cross-over;

   Abstract : Previous studies that utilized sodium lactate infusion did not use resistance exercise protocol or analyzed muscle biopsies, or performed sex specific analysis. Aim: We initiated a project where resistance exercise was performed with low and high levels of lactate, acquired by venous lactate infusion where the specific aim of this study was to investigate and chart the physiological characteristics of sodium lactate infusion during a bout of resistance exercise on whole group level and sexes separated Method: A randomized, placebo controlled, cross-over design was implemented where male (n = 8) and female (n = 8) subjects accustomed to resistance exercise visited the laboratory three times for preliminary testing and training familiarization.

5. 4. Correlation analysis between resting metabolic rate, body composition and physical activity in active and inactive men and women

   University essay from Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

   Author : Emma Jonsson; [2012]
   Keywords : Indirect respiratory calorimeter; Bod Pod; bioimpedance; three-compartment model; muscle mass;

   Abstract : The objective of the present study was to explore the correlation between resting metabolic rate (RMR), body composition and physical activity in active and inactive men and women aged 20-30 years. In total, 13 active and 10 inactive women and 8 active and 5 inactive men were enrolled in this study. READ MORE
