Does gut function limit hummingbird food intake?
Many nectar-feeding bird species decrease food intake when sugar concentration in food is increased. This feeding response can be explained by two alternative hypotheses: compensatory feeding and physiological constraint. The compensatory feeding hypothesis predicts that if birds vary intake to maintain a constant energy intake to match energy expenditures, then they should increase intake when...
متن کاملFood-derived bioactive peptides influence gut function.
Bioactive peptides either present in foods or released from food proteins during digestion have a wide range of physiological effects, including on gut function. Many of the bioactive peptides characterized to date that influence gut motility, secretion, and absorption are opioid agonists or antagonists. The authors review a body of experimental evidence that demonstrates an effect of peptides ...
متن کاملFood intake and ageing--the role of the gut.
Healthy ageing is associated with decreased appetite and energy intake and this is generally associated with weight loss after about 70 years of age. The mechanisms responsible for this 'physiological' anorexia are not well understood, but it may predispose to the development of protein-energy malnutrition in older people, which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Many sensory...
متن کاملDoes Time of Sampling or Food Intake Alter Thyroid Function Test?
CONTEXT A common question from most patients or laboratories is whether blood sample for thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free T4 (fT4) needs to be collected in a fasting state and whether time of the day when sample is collected matters. AIMS The aim of the study was to study the impact of the time of day and food intake on levels of TSH and fT4. SETTINGS AND DESIGN Cross-sectional pr...
متن کاملOrexin-A does not stimulate food intake in old rats.
Aging is associated with a progressive decrease in appetite and food intake. Both A and B orexins, expressed in specific neurons of the lateral hypothalamic area, have been implicated in the regulation of sleep and feeding. In this study, the stimulatory effect of intracerebroventricular administration of the orexins on food intake was compared between young (4-mo-old) and old (25- to 27-mo-old...
