Does multifrequency bioelectrical impedance relate to body composition?
Resistance index at any frequency will be correlated with any body compartment in a normal population. The utility of this technique should be determined in situations where there is a disturbance in the relationship between various compartments of the body.
These studies suggest that IFNγ produced by constituents of the mucosal immune system modulates epithelial cell functions with relevance for intestinal wound healing and may play a role in preserving the integrity of the intestinal epithelium following various forms of injuries.
