Socioecological correlates of energy balance using urinary C-peptide measurements in wild female mountain gorillas.
Maintaining a balanced energy budget is important for survival and reproduction, but measuring energy balance in wild animals has been fraught with difficulties. Female mountain gorillas are interesting subjects to examine environmental correlates of energy balance because their diet is primarily herbaceous vegetation, their food supply shows little seasonal variation and is abundant, yet they ...
متن کاملUrinary C-peptide tracks seasonal and individual variation in energy balance in wild chimpanzees.
C-peptide of insulin presents a promising new tool for behavioral ecologists that allows for regular, non-invasive assessment of energetic condition in wild animals. C-peptide is produced on an equimolar basis with insulin, thus is indicative of the body's response to available glucose and, with repeated measurement, provides a biomarker of energy balance. As yet, few studies have validated the...

متن کاملImplications of nonshivering thermogenesis for energy balance regulation in humans.
The incidence of the metabolic syndrome has reached epidemic levels in the Western world. With respect to the energy balance, most attention has been given to reducing energy (food) intake. Increasing energy expenditure is an important alternative strategy. Facultative thermogenesis, which is the increase in energy expenditure in response to cold or diet, may be an effective way to affect the e...
متن کاملAccurate measurement of endogenous insulin secretion does not require separate assessment of C-peptide kinetics.
The implication of beta-cell failure as an early defect in type 2 diabetes exacerbates the need for accurate but facile assessment of islet cell secretory rate, particularly in large group studies in which individual assessment of C-peptide kinetics is impractical. This study was designed to examine whether it is possible to obtain accurate secretory rates from the extended combined model, whic...
