If intake of calcium is limited, maintenance of normal levels of extracellular and soft tissue calcium in the face of mandatory daily losses from this pool by various excretory routes requires that calcium be mined from its storage depot, bone.
On the basis of the classical body "compartments," Lean Body Mass (LBM) and Adipose Tissue (AT), it is possible to define a "minimal body weight" which is the minimal body weight achievable without compromising LBM specific for women, composed of sex-specific essential fat (EF) depots, muscle, bones, and organs plus EF.
ALAD status may modify the way in which lead partitions between these bone depots (Smith et al. 1995).
In old age, fat is redistributed outside fat depots, accumulating in bone marrow, muscle, liver, and other ectopic sites.
Image analysis was used to gain accurate predictions for 13 traits describing major fat depots, lean muscle, bone, body proportions and body weight which were used for single- and two-QTL mapping analysis.
Researchers have collected prehistoric remnants from Fossil Butte, one of the world's richest fossil depots, since the so-called Bone Wars 150 years ago, when Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh raced to become the top paleontologist of their time.
Also, in utero exposure to TBT causes lipid accumulation into various adipose depots at the expense of bone [ 26] and similar effects have been observed even at transgenerational level [ 27].
Indeed, in the absence of specific markers to identify them in situ, elucidating the role of MSCs in the maintenance of differentiated tissues, such as bone and fat depots in vivo, has been difficult and their importance is as yet unclear.
There are many controversies on the association between depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) and bone mineral density (BMD).
To ascertain whether increased bone turnover in depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) users after peak bone mass is associated with bone mineral loss.
