BACKGROUND Appetite is frequently affected in cancer patients leading to anorexia and consequently insufficient food intake. In this study, we report on hypothalamic gene expression profile of a cancer-cachectic mouse model with increased food intake. In this model, mice bearing C26 tumour have an increased food intake subsequently to the loss of body weight. We hypothesise that in this model, ...

previous studies in humans and animals have reported that nicotine administration decreases body weightand caloric intake. opiate and cigarette have been used concomitantly as drug abuse. the aim of the present study was, therefore, to analyze the effect of chronic co-administration of nicotine and morphine on food intake, body weight and on some feeding-associated peptides. all experiments wer...

Abstract Kimchi, the traditional fermented vegetables with seasonings from Korea, is globally renowned as healthy food anticancer properties. Colorectal cancer world’s third leading an increasing incidence rate over past years. High red meat intake strongly associated colorectal cancer, and World Health Organization has identified probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A). This study aimed inv...

T HE mechanisms regulating feed intake appear to be the same mechanisms that control energy exchange. The physiological functions brought into play are numerous and involve chemosensitive areas, reflex responses and integrative function of the central nervous system. Aside from the primary physiological factors limiting feed intake, a close relationship exists in ruminants between the content o...

Feed intake of ruminants is controlled either by the limits of physical capacity of the body or a multiplicity of coordinated physiological pathways which are largely energized by metabolites of food and neural feedback systems. Itwas found that physical and physiological factors regulating feed intake changed quantitatively with increasing digestibility of food. At low digestibility they were:...

Several sensory cues affect food intake including appearance, taste, odor, texture, temperature, and flavor. Although taste is an important factor regulating food intake, in most cases, the first sensory contact with food is through the eyes. Few studies have examined the effects of the appearance of a food portion on food acceptance and consumption. The purpose of this review is to identify th...
