Described are apparatus and methods for electrically modulating a nerve in a mammal. An electrical signal that includes a signal intensity pattern and a signal frequency pattern is delivered to a nerve. The combination of the signal intensity pattern and the signal frequency pattern is effective to result in weight loss, fat loss, and/or lean-mass gain, in a mammal. In some embodiments the nerve is modulated in response to a physiological parameter. In some embodiments, the physiological parameter is measured by a sensor.

Disposable test strips and a wet chemistry method for measuring each of beta-hydroxybutyrate alone, combined beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate or total ketone bodies (i.e., beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate and acetone) in human bodily fluid samples, including but not limited to urine, saliva or sweat are described. The test strips need only be dipped in the sample and can be used by anyone in almost any milieu. Measurement can be made electrochemically, spectrophotometrically, fluorometrically or by comparision to a color standard. Combined acetoacetate and beta-hydroxybutyrate which account for 97-98% of total ketone bodies and may be measured in a cyclic reaction that occurs at pH about 7.0 to about 8.3 with beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, (beta-HBD), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a tetrazolium dye precursor and an electron mediator. Using this reaction, false positive results obtained from urine samples taken from patients on sulfhydryl drugs are avoided. beta-HBD from some sources was found to cause false negative results in samples (e.g. urine) containing high chloride content due to chloride inhibition of beta-HBD. Using a simple test for chloride inhibition, it was found that beta-HBD from Alcaligenes is not so inhibited. Using either beta-HBD that is not inhibited by chloride or using 10-20 times the normal concentration of this enzyme eliminates false negatives in samples having substantial chloride content, such as urine, both in the reaction described above and in other reactions disclosed for measuring each of beta-hydroxybutyrate alone, combined beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate and total ketone bodies, all of which reactions occur in the pH range of about 8.6 to about 9.5.

An abdominal exercise equipment is provided with two front wheels and two rear wheels to ensure that the abdominal exercise equipment can move stably without tipping over during movement, preventing the exerciser from losing balance and getting hurt. A return gear assembly is disposed between the two rear wheels to produce a recovering force. Therefore, when the abdominal exercise equipment is pulled back, the recovering force will assist the exerciser to pull the abdominal exercise equipment back, which consequently lowers the difficult level of exercise. Furthermore, the abdominal exercise equipment is provided with a vibration device which is capable of softening the muscles and fat, and speeding up fat loss by producing vibration.

The invention relates to a health-care food containing natural fucoxanthin, which is a soft capsule. Moreover, an obesity preventing model method is adopted, and the fucoxanthin is used as a functional factor for carrying out a fat reducing experiment on a rat. By the display of data analysis, the weight and the perinephric spermary fat weight of the rat fed with the fucoxanthin are obviously lowered in comparison with those of a model set. Furthermore, the fat cell area is obviously reduced in comparison with that of the model set and a blank set. The result shows that the fucoxanthin has a very good fat reducing effect, and a favorable basis is provided to the application of substances containing the fucoxanthin in the field of health-care foods.

The present invention discloses a concentrated feed supplementing feed for supplementing heat-stressed and postpartum energy shortage of dairy cows, which solves the problems of decreased dry substance feed intake caused by dairy cow heat stress in the hot summer season of our country and dairy cow postpartum negative energy balance, and can improve fat conditions of dairy cows, milk indicators and reproductive performance of dairy cows. The formula of the supplementing feed contains ruminal bypass proteins, fat meal, aged starch, intensified vitamins, and organic trace elements, thus the degradation speed of protein and energy is synchronous, and the feed utilization rate is improved. The supplementing feed increases the ruminal bypass proteins, improves the dairy cow milk protein indicators, ensures the health of dairy cow rumens, increases milk yield of dairy cows, improves the reproductive performance of dairy cows, and greatly increases economic efficiency of cattle farms. Currently scaled pasture basically uses TMR machinery and equipment, and additional additions of the concentrated feed supplementing feed can relieve summer heat stress, supplement deficiencies of energy and ruminal bypass proteins 100 days postpartum, and achieves the results of no fat loss, high milk yield, and good breeding of dairy cows.
