Article Abstract
Four hundred and thirty-three double-muscled and two hundred and two non-double-muscled Belgian Blue bulls, with mean cold carcass weights of 470±27 and 414±33 kg, respectively, were studied to investigate the relationships between the SEUROP fat grade, the anatomical fat content in the carcass (adipose tissue) and the chemical fat content in the Longissimus thoracis. The relationships between the shear force value and the lightness of the meat and fat characteristics were also studied. A moderate correlation was found between the fat characteristics within each data set with correlation coefficients, ranging from 0.4 to 0.6. The correlation coefficients increased to 0.70-0.85 when the data sets were pooled. Fat characteristics of the carcass and meat showed only limited predictive power (R(2)<0.15) for meat tenderness and colour. This study also shows that double-muscled animals belong to a sub-population of the Belgian Blue breed rather than deviants from the non-double-muscled animal.

Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Background: MRI offers quantification of proton density fat fraction (PDFF) and tissue characteristics with T1 mapping. The influence of age, sex, and the potential confounding effects of fat on T1 values in skeletal muscle in healthy adults are insufficiently known.
Purpose: To determine the accuracy and repeatability of a saturation-recovery chemical-shift encoded multiparametric approach (SR-CSE) for quantification of T1 and muscle fat content, and establish normative values (age, sex) from a healthy cohort.

Department of Osteoporosis, Metabolic Bone Disease and Genetic Research Unit, Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai 200233, China.
: This study aimed to capture the early metabolic changes before osteoporosis occurs and identify metabolomic biomarkers at the osteopenia stage for the early prevention of osteoporosis. : Metabolomic data were generated from normal, osteopenia, and osteoporosis groups with 320 participants recruited from the Nicheng community in Shanghai. We conducted individual edge network analysis (iENA) combined with a random forest to detect metabolomic biomarkers for the early warning of osteoporosis.

Oleogels have been a revolutionary innovation in food science in terms of their health benefits and unique structural properties. They provide a healthier alternative to traditional solid or animal fats. They have improved oxidative stability and nutritional value to maintain the desirable sensory qualities of lipid-based foods.
