Metabolic weight

The correct answer = C. Progesterone is synthesized by the testes in males. Progestins decrease HDL and increase LDL. When orally administered, progesterone is largely inactivated by hepatic first-pass metabolism. Weight gain is one of the side effects of progestins.

Figure 2. Relationship between voluntary intake and cell-wall constituents of 83 forages from West Virginia. Regression equation Y == 110.4 — 1716/ (100-X). Intake is expressed as grams per metabolic weight size, i.e. animal body weight to the. 75 power. (Reference 57)...

The fasting metabolism of an animal when expressed per unit of metabolic weight may vary depending on the animal s body composition. Metabolically active tissues such as the internal organs and musculature require more energy for maintenance than less metabolically active tissues. Consequently, a fat animal is likely to have a lower fasting metabolism than a thin animal of the same weight. 

Intake is related to metabolic weight In late pregnancy it is restricted by the foetus reducing rumen volume, but it increases in lactation.

Metabolism Weight In the same meta-analysis as above, 12 trials of 31 reported a change in body weight. A mean increase in weight was 2.31 kg (95% Cl 1.31, 3.32) in the sulphonylurea-treated groups compared with comparator groups. [51 j... 

Direct calorimetry of fish is scarce, and indirect calorimetry started even later. Davies [144] determined heat production rates for goldfish. Smith and coworkers [145] investigated those of 4 salmonids at different temperatures. Group effects (see section 5.1.1. and 5.4.2.) could also be observed. Van Waversfeld and colleagues presented an approximate rate of 700 J/h/mw (0.20 W/mw) for fish at 20 °C where mw indicates the metabolic weight, i.e. the body mass m in kg to a broken power of 0.85 (mw = [146].
