Objective
Prepregnancy obesity is an epidemic disorder that seriously threatens both maternal and offspring health. This study investigated the effects of β3‐adrenergic receptor (β3‐AR) activation on the perinatal outcomes in a diet‐induced prepregnancy obese (PPO) murine model.
Methods
Four‐week‐old female C57BL/6 mice were fed high‐fat diet or chow diet for 16 weeks to yield PPO mice and chow‐fed...
Objective
Field data analyses have shown that obesity significantly increases the occupant injury risks in motor vehicle crashes, but the injury assessment tools for people with obesity are largely lacking. The objectives of this study were to use a mesh morphing method to rapidly generate parametric finite element models with a wide range of obesity levels and to evaluate their biofidelity against...
