Measuring food intake in wild animals: primates.
The last 30 years have seen the rapid accumulation of large quantities of data on the diets and feeding behaviour of free-ranging primates in all continents. Much is known about what, when and where different primates eat through the seasons, on their activity patterns and use of space, but in the wild it is difficult to quantify actual amounts of food and of primary and secondary nutrients ing...
متن کاملMeasuring food intake in studies of obesity.
The problem of how to measure habitual food intake in studies of obesity remains an enigma in nutritional research. The existence of obesity-specific underreporting was rather controversial until the advent of the doubly labelled water technique gave credence to previously anecdotal evidence that such a bias does in fact exist. This paper reviews a number of issues relevant to interpreting diet...
متن کاملWild Animals Used as Food Medicine in Brazil
The connection between eating and healing is common in traditional folk medical systems, and the multiple possibilities resulting from the combination of biodiversity and culture confer a wealth and complexity in terms of knowledge of the flora and fauna as to their potential as food medicine. The growing awareness of the links between traditional therapeutic-alimentary uses of wildlife and con...
متن کاملObesity and the control of food intake in experimental animals.
Obesity its only possible origin is off the plate. It is a question of imbalance between food intake and energy expenditure. Since food intake is regulated by appetite, Dr Morrison’s paper is pertinent. The treatment of obesity is largely a problem for dietetic practice, and it is fitting that Miss Rose should conclude this Symposium with an account of her unrivalled experience in this field. O...
متن کاملMeasuring Food Intake and Nutrient Absorption in Caenorhabditis elegans
Caenorhabditis elegans has emerged as a powerful model to study the genetics of feeding, food-related behaviors, and metabolism. Despite the many advantages of C. elegans as a model organism, direct measurement of its bacterial food intake remains challenging. Here, we describe two complementary methods that measure the food intake of C. elegans. The first method is a microtiter plate-based bac...
