Determination of Cutoff Values for DEXA-Based Body Composition Measurements for Determining Metabolic and Cardiovascular Health.

The two components of the body weight (i.e., fat mass and muscle mass) appeared to be of high interest to consider in predicting metabolic health related risks.

Markers of metabolic and cardiovascular health in adults: Comparative analysis of DEXA-based body composition components and BMI categories.

Objectives: To investigate how body composition components fit body mass index (BMI) categories and whether they could be considered as markers of metabolic and cardiovascular health.

Design: Prospective study.

Setting: A center for preventive medicine.

The influence of headgroup structure and fatty acyl chain saturation of phospholipids on monolayer behavior: a comparative rheological study.

This paper compares six phospholipidic monolayers at the water/chloroform interface by performing dilational rheological measurements with a drop tensiometer apparatus. The chosen lipids differ both in their headgroup structure and fatty acyl chain saturation or symmetry. The study concentrated on monolayers formed with DPPC, DPPE, DOPC, DOPE, POPC and POPE.
