.... Most effects of oleate disappeared in the presence of FFA1 and FFA4 antagonists. The evidence obtained supports the involvement of FFA1 and FFA4 in fatty acid sensing in fish brain, and thus involvement in food intake regulation through mechanisms not exactly comparable (differential response...

... was due to the high cost of thermoregulation in water. The notion of high metabolic rates is also supported by high food intakes reported for captive individuals ( Dudok Van Heel, 1962 ; Andersen, 1965 ; Myers et al., 1978 ; Lockyer et al., 2003 ; Kastelein et al., 1990 , 1997a , 2018...

... for macronutrients. By choosing any combination of foods, dogs and cats could individually set their macronutrient intake. Plasma metabolomic profiles were determined at baseline and after animals had consumed their food intake of choice for 28 days. Based on food intake calculations over 28 days, dogs on average...

...-sensing systems and control of food intake have never been evaluated in early life stages, despite the importance of establishing when appetite regulation becomes functional in larval fish. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the possible effects of different specific FAs on neural FA-sensing systems...

... in food intake was related to variability in mitochondrial capacity: low intake (and hence growth failure) was associated with high leak respiration rates within liver and muscle mitochondria, and a lower coupling of muscle mitochondria. These observations, combined with the inability of fish with low...

..., intestinal bulb, proximal intestine, muscle, hypothalamus, telencephalon and brainstem). Food deprivation (48 h) reduced intestinal OEA levels and levels increased upon re-feeding, suggesting that this compound may be involved in the short-term regulation of food intake in goldfish, as a satiety factor. Next...

... to additional ad libitum food, most of them did not complete the running target during late lactation and the mice with the highest targets failed to reach their targets earlier in lactation. There were consequently significant group differences in asymptotic food intake (2 km, 16.97±0.40 g day −1 ; 4 km, 14.29...

..., food intake may be limited in late pregnancy by competition for space in the abdomen between the alimentary tract and fetuses. Hence, females may need to compensate their energy budgets during pregnancy by reducing activity and lowering body temperature. We explored the relationships between energy...

...Gregory L. Florant; Ashley M. Fenn; Jessica E. Healy; Gregory K. Wilkerson; Robert J. Handa SUMMARY Mammals that hibernate (hibernators) exhibit a circannual rhythm of food intake and body mass. In the laboratory during the winter hibernation period, many hibernators enter a series of multi-day...

...( Lasiopodomys brandtii ). Female voles were mated and pregnant at 21(±1)°C. A random sample of animals was transferred into a hot room 30(±1)°C on the day of parturition. The energy intake of lactating voles at 30°C was always lower than that at 21°C. At peak lactation food intake was 3.3 g day –1 lower at 30°C...

Although CORT levels overall decreased during a foraging trip, CORT levels did not differ between experimental birds and controls. These results demonstrate that mass gain at sea...

Our data suggest that for mediates larval responses to short-term food deprivation by altering food intake and blood...

To investigate the significance of food intake on the body mass changes observed, in the work described here we analysed food intake of the nightingales under study in those earlier experiments.

General effects of glucocorticoids support such a prediction. Because glucocorticoids exert permissive effects on food intake, corticosterone may also participate...

Evaluation of body composition failed to identify any single component that contributed to the loss of tissue mass. Removal of implants led to a transient restoration of body mass to levels similar...
