BACKGROUND Thyroid dysfunction is associated with changes in the appetite. Ghrelin can regulate feeding behavior. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether ghrelin plays a role in the appetite changes in different states of thyroid dysfunction. METHODS The serum ghrelin levels were measured in 45 newly diagnosed hyperthyroid and 45 newly diagnosed hypothyroid patients before and after med...

PURPOSE Protein consumption after resistance exercise potentiates muscle protein synthesis, but its effects on subsequent appetite in this context are unknown. This study examined appetite and energy intake following consumption of protein- and carbohydrate-containing drinks after resistance exercise. METHODS After familiarisation, 15 resistance training males (age 21 ± 1 years, body mass 78....

the study attempted to look at the influence of individual factors (creative behavior and practical intelligence), process factors (participation in decision making and quality of communication) and context factors (trust in management and history of change) on employee readiness for change to transformational changes. commitment to change and its three dimensions- affective, continuance and no...

BACKGROUND In recent years, a great attention has been focused on Spirulina platensis as a source of potential valuable nutrients for prevention and treatment of chronic diseases. The objectives of the current study were to determine the effects of Spirulina platensis on anthropometric parameters, serum lipids, appetite and serum Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) in obese individuals. ...

OBJECTIVE Our study examined the effect of food volume on later intake and appetite ratings in 15 women with binge eating disorder (BED) and 15 healthy control women. METHOD On nonconsecutive days, lower-volume (250 ml/171 kcal) and higher-volume milk-based preloads (500 ml/171 kcal) were served in counterbalanced order. Thirty minutes later, appetite ratings and intake at a buffet-style test...

CONTEXT Acute energy deficits imposed by food restriction increase appetite and energy intake; however, these outcomes remain unchanged when energy deficits are imposed by exercise. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to determine the potential role of acylated ghrelin and peptide YY(3-36) (PYY(3-36)) in mediating appetite and energy intake responses to identical energy deficits imposed by food restr...

Photosynthesis and respiration exert strong opposing effects on dissolved gases in earthen ponds. During daylight this provides oxygen to the water while removing carbon dioxide. At night, fish, plankton, sediment consumes available O2 produces CO2. This leads daily conditions that fluctuate between being hyperoxic hypocapnic during day, becoming severely hypoxic hypercapnic at night. The of hy...
