Study of the relationship of cytochrome oxidase activity of certain tissues to the body weight has been extended to include three species of large animals. In the comparison of rats, sheep, swine and cattle, the cytochrome oxidase activity of skeletal muscle (principally of the gracilis) was found to be roughly an inverse function of body weight. A logarithmic regression of –0.239 was calculated. Although the cytochrome oxidase activity per unit weight of liver in the sheep, swine and cattle series does not reflect the variation in body mass, the regression of the logarithm of total liver cytochrome oxidase activity on the logarithm of body weight was calculated to be 0.674. The data support the concept that the summated total measurable cytochrome oxidase activity is very nearly proportional to body weight to the 3/4 power and, hence, to basal metabolism.

1. Thirty Suffolk × Half bred lambs were slaughtered at the following ages: two twin lambs at birth and two singles and two twins at 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 16 weeks of age.2. The following weights were recorded: live-weight immediately before slaughter; and carcass, head, skin, feet, alimentary tract, heart, liver, kidneys, lungs and trachea, and blood immediately afterwards.3. The alimentary tract was emptied and weighed in four separate parts; reticulo-rumen, omasum-abomasum, small intestine, large intestine.4. The volumes of the reticulo-rumen and the omasum-abomasum were measured by immersing in water and filling the organs with water to 2 cm. pressure.5. The in vitro digestive efficiency of rumen liquor from lambs of 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks of age was assessed.6. Empty body weight was considered to be valuable in comparing animals of different ages or from different feeding regimes or at different times of the year because variations in gut ‘fill’ were eliminated.7. There were no differences between singles and twins in the relationship of the fresh weights of the parts of the body to empty body weight, except that development of the liver and the blood was rather slower for singles.8. Little evidence was found of a difference in rate of development of the alimentary tract between singles an d twins, although the log an d square root transformation suggested a possible difference in reticulo-rumen size in favour of twins, significant at the 5% level.

The main goal of any surgical intervention in morbid obesity is to improve the quality of life of patients which is considered directly related to the loss of excess body weight and a reduction in the incidence of related diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the interdependence of these indicators. In 2005-2013 we performed 457 operations of gastric banding (GB) and 198 - gastric bypass (GBP). After GB only body mass index (BMI) and quality of life index (QOL) had significant linear correlation, i.e., the higher the weight of the patient, the worse the quality of life. After GBP there was is a significant linear relationship only between the patient's body weight and dynamics of comorbidities, i.e. the higher the weight of the patient, the higher the level of comorbidity. The QOL of patients after GBP does not depend on the body weight or on the frequency of comorbidities.

This study examined the relationship of body condition and chewing time (CT) with body weight (BW), the level of cocaine-and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART), leptin and energy metabolites in cows until reaching the lactation peak. The results showed the greatest loss of BW between days 11 and 45 of lactation and a decrease in the body condition score (BCS) until day 75. Chewing time showed an increase from day 45 with the highest values after lactation peak. The CART and leptin concentrations demonstrate a reduction of both indices (P < 0.05) between days 11 and 75. The function of leptin as a factor positively correlating with BW and BCS was found. In the heaviest individuals and those with higher BCS, the blood leptin levels were higher. The results of beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA) indicate that cows with the lowest BCS had the most intensive energy transformation. This led to a higher BHBA concentration compared to the cows with high BCS (P < 0.05). The obtained results show that CART was most strongly negatively associated with CT (P < 0.05). For leptin, the tendency was the opposite and the correlation with CT was not significant. The results suggest that CT may be stronger regulated by CART, which has anorectic properties, than by appetite inhibiting leptin. Significant decrease of body condition during lactation is a great problem for dairy farmers. The explanation of the issue of the participation of CART and leptin in the regulation of body’s energy homeostasis may therefore be of importance for milk production.

Terebellobranchia sp. is a member of the Terebellidae family, which is known to have a high level of morphological variation. The aims of research was to know morphometric variations and the relationship of body size and uncini of Terebellobranchia sp. in Lemukutan Island. The measurements body and uncini were carried out on complete specimens with digital caliper, while uncini measuring under a microscope with eyepiece micrometer. Data analysis with t test in 64 individuals. The Terebellobranchia sp. found in station 2 had a significantly different size with Terebellobranchia sp. in other stations. The body length of Terebellobranchia sp. shows a strong correlation with the width, number of segments and body weight, meanwhile the width of the segment strongly correlated with size of uncini.

Brain Mitochondrial Function

We previously demonstrated markedly inhibited brain mitochondrial respiration only in cats that (a) were hyperglycemic at anoxia and (b) had neurologic signs, i.e., fasciculations in tongue or facial muscles or focal seizures following reoxygenation. However, since the relationship between time of onset of mitochondrial dysfunction and neurologic signs was unclear, in the present study we killed postanoxic cats immediately when signs first appeared. Cerebrocortical homogenates and isolated brain mitochondria only from symptomatic cats showed markedly inhibited substrate-, ADP-, and uncoupler-stimulated respiration rates. Cytochrome oxidase activity and cytochrome aa3 concentrations were also markedly reduced in these mitochondria. Since brain mitochondrial function was impaired when neurologic signs first appeared, mitochondrial alterations are an important early organellar change correlated with development of neurologic deterioration following anoxia.

ABSTRACT   The purpose of this research was to know the relationship between the the weight and body measurements at age of 12 weeks  of crossbreds of three chicken types that were broiler, kate and Sabu chicken. The relationship of body weight with the body measurements  was used as a consideration for selecting the body weight.  The research  material  was 30 tails of  crossbreds  with genotype composition was ½ broiler 1/4  Kate ¼ Sabu chicken.  The method of research was experiment and directly weighting and measuring of the body measuremens. All  chickens  were given freely the  same  food  and waters. The observed parameters were body  weight, backbone  length, chest circumference, shank circumference and wing span.  Data   was analised using the correlation analysis.  Research results  obtained  the koefisien of correlation between  chest circumference, backbone length,  shank length  and wing span  with body weight were 0.62; 0.32; 031 and 0.20.  Correlations between body weight  and  body measurements  of chicken crossbreds   with genotype composision ½ broiler  ¼ Kate ¼ Sabu   were positip.
