Body composition analysis of cachectic rabbits by total body electrical conductivity

Abstract:
A simple formula (1.536 x TOBEC + 475.146 = LBM, where TOBEC is total body electrical conductivity and LBM is lean body mass) to estimate LBM in grams was developed on the basis of the total body fat data obtained by ether extraction and TOBEC in normal rabbits. The formula was also applicable to rabbits with cachexia induced by inoculation of VX2 carcinoma or by starvation. We were able to assess the losses of body fat in the rabbits with cachexia at 10-day intervals by using TOBEC.
