12. Seasonal Changes in the Body Composition of the Garter Snake (Thamnophis Sirtalis Parietalis) at Northern Lattitudes

Author:

Subject:
Thamnophis; autumn; body composition; body length; body weight; hibernation; latitude; lipids; rehydration; seasonal variation; snakes; spring; starvation; summer; temperature; water content; winter
Abstract:
... At northern latitudes the garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis) undergoes a prolonged period of hibernation and has access to food only from mid—May to mid—September. An examination of seasonal changes in the body composition of this organism revealed that protein and ash, expressed as percentage of total body weight, remain essentially constant throughout the year. Lipids are low in the s ...

Subject:
bicycling; exercise; body composition; gamma radiation; potassium; isotope labeling; athletes; human health
Abstract:
... Vigorous exercise has been reported to increase the apparent potassium content of athletes measured by whole body gamma ray scintillation counting of 40K. The possibility that this phenomenon is an artifact was evaluated in three cyclists and one nonathlete after exercise on the road (cyclists) or in a room with a source of radon and radon progeny (nonathlete). The apparent 40K content of the thig ...

18. Assessment of fat-free mass using bioelectrical impedance measurements of the human body

Source:
American journal of clinical nutrition 1985 v.41 no.4 pp. 810-817
ISSN:
0002-9165
Subject:
nutritional status; men; electrolytes; potassium; analytical methods; body fat
Abstract:
... A method which involves the measurement of bioelectrical resistive impedance (R) for the estimation of human body composition is described. This method is based upon the principle that the electrical conductivity of the fat-free tissue mass (FFM) is far greater than that of fat. Determinations of R were made in 37 healthy men aged 28.8 +/- 7.1 yr (mean +/- SD) using an electrical impedance plethys ...

Abstract:
... The population cycles of meadow voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus) were studied in southeastern Manitoba, Canada, from 1968 to 1978 on a 32—ha old field and in surrounding boreal forest. Vole density was monitored on mark—recapture live—trapping at 2— to 4—wk intervals throughout the year. This was supplemented by a 3—d spring and a 30—d summer snap—trapping survey. Multiannual and annual fluctuation ...
