Besides these well-documented effects of fetuin-A on the insulin receptor of muscle and liver, this protein may induce whole-body insulin resistance as an action on adipose tissue [ 17].
The role of DXA in the study of body composition and in the clinical evaluation of disorders which directly or indirectly involve the whole metabolism as they may induce changes in body mass and fat percentage is less known or less understood.
However, the CNT presence on or in the body may induce toxicity.
However, CNT present in or on the body may induce toxicity, which is related to surface area with SWCNT being more toxic to organisms than MWCNT.
The basivertebral foramen (BF), located in the middle posterior wall of the vertebral body, may induce local weakness and contribute to the formation of a retropulsed bone fragment (RBF) in thoracolumbar burst fracture (TLBF).
However the objectives can be difficult to meet with this particular group of injuries; a simple extrapolation of fracture stabilisation techniques, successful elsewhere in the body, may induce complications not seen in other regions — an understanding of the pathoanatomy of this group of fractures is a prerequisite to successful decision-making.
Stress factors such as weaning, pathogen exposure and littermate separation may induce reduced food intake, body weight loss and an increased susceptibility to gastrointestinal infections in these animals [ 3, 4].
High temperatures may induce shorter lifespans and smaller body sizes, while cooler temperatures favour longer lifespans and larger individuals.
In 2007, the ATG16L1 gene has been implicated in Crohn's disease, which may induce autophagy and hinder the body's ability to attack invasive bacteria.
Brain damage may induce a dysfunction of upright body position termed "pusher syndrome".
