In the ION-and-stress group, NOS activity was elevated in the kidneys and liver, but reduced in the brainstem and hypothalamus vs. IONs alone. IONs also accentuated air-jet stress-induced MAP responses vs. stress alone. Interestingly, stress reduced ION-originated iron content in blood and liver while it was elevated in the kidneys. In conclusion,…[Read more]

9kg), lean mass (TE 2.1kg; SEE 1.8kg), and percent body fat (TE 3.6%; SEE 3.4%). Validity results did not differ for men vs. women. DXA-4C estimates were slightly better in individuals with higher lean mass. DXA alone resulted in significantly greater error than DXA-4C (p<0.05).

Body composition assessed from DXA-4C is an accurate…[Read more]

Fecal content was collected from the gastrointestinal tract of males and 16S rRNA gene sequencing conducted. ITD-1 inhibitor Dieldrin at a measured feed dose of 16 ng/g reduced the abundance of Firmicutes, a phylum involved in energy resorption. At the level of class, there was a decrease in abundance of Clostridia and Betaproteobacteria, and an…[Read more]
