Body Composition Assessment by DXA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Body composition was assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan (Version 6.10.029GE Encore 2002, GE Lunar Prodigy; GE Healthcare, Madison, WI, USA). Height was measured using a seca stadiometer (Quirumed, Valencia, Spain), which has a range of 80–200 cm. Body mass was measured using a TANITA BC-420MA balance (Bio Lógica Tecnología Médica S.L, Barcelona, Spain). BMI was calculated as body weight/height (kg/m²).

Whole-Body Composition and Glucose Metabolism

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Body composition was determined using whole-body dual X-ray absorptiometry (GE Lunar Prodigy Advance Plus, GE Medical Systems, Madison, Wis., USA) and analyzed with Encore 2002 software (GE Medical Systems).
Following an overnight (12 h) fast, subjects completed a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Blood samples were collected at 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 min for the measurement of glucose and insulin. Insulin sensitivity was assessed using the Insulin Sensitivity Index (ISI) (Matsuda and DeFronzo 1999 (link)) and homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) methods when OGTT data were not available.

Rat Femur Bone Density Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Rat BMD was assessed by using the Lunar Prodigy System (GE Lunar Corporation, Madison, WI, USA). The analysis was performed using enCORE 2002 (Version 6.70.021, GE, Madison, WI, USA). Rat femurs section were decalcified in 10% of EDTA-2Na for 2 weeks. The treated femurs samples were then embedded. The final blocks were sliced into sections (5 μm), and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The trabecular area (%) was measured with Image J software as described previously^{46 (link)}.

Bone and Body Composition Measurement

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Bone-mineral density (BMD) and body-composition measurements were performed conform DXA technology using a Lunar DPX densitometer and analyzed with Encore 2002 software (GE Lunar DPX, GE Health Care). Bone densitometry was performed in a standardized manner as described previously [18 ]. Body composition was described in terms of the mineral, lean and fat body mass (kilograms). The percentage of fat mass and, more specifically, android and gynoid fat, were calculated.

DXA Scan Body Composition Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

A dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan (Version 6.10.029GE Encore 2002, GE Lunar Prodigy; GE Healthcare, Madison, WI, USA) was performed between 8 and 10 a.m. in fasting state to obtain body composition variables such as weight, fat mass (FM) and lean mass (LM), considering LM as body weight minus FM and minus bone mineral content. Calibration and evaluation procedures were realised by recommendations of the manufacturer and certified technicians.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
