Meal patterns of cats encountering variable food procurement cost.
The meal patterns of 2 cats in a laboratory habitat with variable foraging costs were examined in a foraging paradigm in which subjects could initiate meals at any time by completing a predetermined number of bar presses (the procurement price) and then could eat any amount. From meal to meal, the procurement price either was fixed or varied among a geometric series of five prices. As the fixed...

متن کاملEffects of amylin-related peptides on food intake, meal patterns, and gastric emptying in rats.
We previously demonstrated that amylin inhibits food intake and gastric emptying in rats with half-maximal effective doses (ED(50)s) of 8 and 3 pmol x kg(-1) x min(-1) and maximal inhibitions of 78 and 60%, respectively. In this study of identical design, rats received intravenous infusions of salmon calcitonin (sCT), rat calcitonin (rCT), rat calcitonin gene-related peptide (rCGRP), and rat ad...
متن کاملFood intake and meal patterns of weight-stable and weight-gaining persons.
BACKGROUND Weight gain is a result of changes in the regulation of short-term meal-to-meal intake. An investigation of the short-term intake and activity levels of weight-gaining persons may provide insight into the nature of the cues signaling weight gain. OBJECTIVE The basic hypothesis was that the investigation of energy balance during periods of dynamic weight gain should provide clues to...
