The problem experienced by toddlers is that growth disorders in Indonesia have started to emerge from children aged 1-6 months, so that efforts are needed to reduce the rate of growth disorders or to or to increase weight presentation. Increasing body weight is an indicator of infant health that can be used as a benchmark for infant growth. Body weight is the most important anthropometric measure and is most often used in newborns (neonates). One of the treatments that can be done to increase body weight is by giving massage to babies. Baby massage can stimulate the penvernaan hormones insulin and gaselin, so that food absorption becomes better. This causes babies to feel hungry quickly so they eat more often and gain weight. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of infant massage on infant weight gain. The method in this study is a literature review, which tries to explore how the effect of infant massage on infant weight gain. The results in this study indicate that the results of 6 previous studies indicate that there is a significant effect of infant massage on the increase in infant body weight. The conclusion in this study is that massage in infants can increase the baby's weight. This is because the massage that is carried out regularly on babies is used to massage the legs, stomach, chest, hands, back, and stretching movements can increase the baby's weight. The massage will cause nerve action potential that stimulates the vagus nerve.

THE EFFECT OF INFANT MASSAGE STIMULATION TOWARDS THE WEIGHT GAIN ON INFANTS WITH LOW BIRTH WEIGHT IN YOGYAKARTADwi Nur Octaviani Katili1, Djaswadi Dasuki2, Retno Mawarti3Universitas Muhammadiyah GorontaloEmail: [email protected]: Infants with low birth weight (LBW) require more nutrients inputs in order to optimize their growth and development. The increase of infants weight is used as the best indicator to determine the growth of infants with LBW. The massage on infant with LBW is a form of stimulus/kinesthetic tactile stimulation as a verbal communication to the infants. It can increase endurance, the activity of the digestive function, and the activity of the vagus nerve.Objective: To determine the benefits of infant massage stimulation as an effective non-medical way in gaining body weight on infants with low birth weight (LBW).Methods: The design of the study is Randomized Controlled Trial. The sampling technique is concecutive sample with the total samples are 15 respondents for each group (treatment and control). The data were analyzed with bivariate analysis stage by using independent t-test with a significance level of p value <0.05 as well as multivariate analysisby using linear regression.Results: The t-test results showed that there is average difference in the gaining of body weight on infants with the low birth weight in the treatment and the control group as big as 53.67 grams with a p value <0.001, 95% CI = -79.02 - (- 28.38).Conclusions: The weight gain on infants with low birth weight who do massage stimulation for 14 days is greater than infants who are not massaged.

The exact mechanisms through which ghrelin promotes lipogenesis are unknown. Uncoupling protein (UCP)-2 is a mitochondrial protein important in regulating reactive oxygen species; however, recent research shows that it may play an important role fat metabolism. Given that ghrelin increases UCP2 mRNA in white adipose tissue, we examined whether the lipogenic actions of ghrelin are modulated by UCP2 using ucp2+/+ and ucp2−/− mice. Chronic ghrelin treatment either via osmotic minipumps or daily ip injections induced body weight gain in both ucp2+/+ and ucp2−/− mice; however, body weight gain was potentiated in ucp2−/− mice. Increased body weight gain was completely due to increased body fat as a result of decreased fat oxidation in ucp2−/− mice. Ghrelin treatment of ucp2−/− mice resulted in a gene expression profile favoring lipogenesis. In a calorie-restriction model of negative energy balance, ghrelin to ucp2+/+ mice did not increase body weight; however, ghrelin to ucp2−/− mice still induced body weight. These results show that UCP2 plays an important role in fat metabolism by promoting fat oxidation and restricts ghrelin-induced lipogenesis.

Abstract Objectives Serum calcidiol is inversely associated with BMI in obese individuals and murine research has shown that vitamin D deficient diets (VDD) increase body weight. Alcohol intake doesn't necessarily increase body weight despite its caloric density but has been associated with VDD. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of vitamin D deficiency with or without alcohol on body weight, body composition, glucose tolerance, and energy expenditure in seven-month-old female mice. Methods Seven-month-old female retired breeder C57BL/6J mice (n = 40) were weight-matched and randomized to one of four diets: control (normal purified AIN-93 diet), vitamin D deficient (VDD, 0 intake of vitamin D), alcohol (Alc, 10% ethanol), or vitamin D deficient and alcohol (VDD + Alc). Mice were fed ad libitum for 8 weeks. Body weight and food intake were recorded weekly and body composition was measured at baseline and final time points using EchoMRI. Glucose tolerance and energy expenditure (EE) were assessed by an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and Oxymax/CLAMS unit at week 8. Results Body weight at baseline was 27.4 ± 1.8 g and did not differ between groups. Mice drinking alcohol had a decreased food intake (p < 0.001). When liquid calories were accounted for, total caloric intake did not differ between groups. Weight gain throughout the study increased more in the VDD groups (p < 0.05). Increases in weight were 0.81 ± 2.9, 0.82 ± 2.0, 2.0 ± 1.7, and 3.6 ± 2.9 g, in the control, Alc, VDD, and VDD + Alc groups, respectively (p < 0.05). Lean body mass was also increased due to VDD (p < 0.05). The total fat mass did not differ significantly between groups, however, VDD groups gained more fat mass over time (p < 0.05). Two-way ANOVA showed an interaction between vitamin D and alcohol for EE (p < 0.05). Positive incremental area under the curve (IAUC) for blood glucose was decreased due to alcohol intake (p < 0.05). Conclusions In conclusion, alcohol intake decreased blood glucose and food intake, but there was no effect on total caloric intake, body weight or body composition. VDD led to greater increases in body weight and soft tissue compartments compared to other groups that were not explained by caloric intake or EE. Understanding mechanisms that are causing excess weight gain due to VDD is currently a focus in the lab. Funding Sources USDA-NIFA (NJAES).

Background Massage is a tactile/kinesthetic stimulation with biochemical and physiological effects on the body. Newborn infant massage stimulation given by mothers may promote maternal-infant bonding and attachment, enhance infant weight gain and stimulate the production of breast milk. There have been few studies on the effect of massage stimulation on weight gain in full term infants, and this topic remains controversial.Objective To examine the effect of massage stimulation on weight gain in full term infants.Methods This quasi-experimental study was held in Sanglah Hospital and Bunda Setia Maternity Clinic. Massage stimulation was performed by mothers once daily for a four week period. Massage stimulation was given to 30 full term infants and their weight gain was compared to 31 control infants who did not receive massages.Results There were no differences in subject characteristics between the massage and control groups. Median weight gain in the massage group was 1230 grams, while that in the control group was 830 grams (P=0.028).Conclusion Weight gain in full term infants in the massage group was significantly greater than that in the control group after 4 weeks.

Several studies suggest that the holiday season, starting from the last week of November to the first or second week of January, could be critical to gaining weight. This study aims to review the literature to determine the effects of the holidays on body weight. In studies of adults, a significant weight gain was consistently observed during this period (0.4 to 0.9 kg,p<0.05). The only study in college students found an effect on body fat but not on weight (0.1 kg,p=0.71). The only study found in children did not show an effect on BMI percentile (−0.4%,p>0.05) during this period. Among individuals with obesity who attempt to lose weight, an increase in weight was observed (0.3 to 0.9 kg, significant in some but not in all studies), as well as increase in weight in motivated self-monitoring people (0.4 to 0.6%,p<0.001). Programs focused on self-monitoring during the holidays (phone calls and daily mailing) appeared to prevent weight gain, but information is limited. The holiday season seems to increase body weight in adults, even in participants seeking to lose weight and in motivated self-monitoring people, whereas in children, adolescents, and college students, very few studies were found to make accurate conclusions.
