HANSEN, B. C., K.-L. C. JEN AND P. KRIBBS. Regulation of food intake in monkeys: Response to caloric dilution. PHYSIOL. BEHAV. 26(3) 479--486, 1981.--Ability to regulate level of energy intake was studied in adult rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) using calorically diluted diets. Twenty-four hour access to a complete liquid diet was provided via leakproof gravity feeders. The addition of water pr...

We must consider how autonomic nervous system modifies or influences the results of the test in the vestibular function test. From this point of view, I have examined 48 (men and women) adults who subjectively and objectively have normal hearing abilities and equilibrious functions. First, I have classified them into two groups, one is the stable and the other is unstable groups of autonomic ne...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to compare nystagmus characteristics after caloric irrigation in patients with lateral canal (LC) and posterior canal (PC) benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and to analyze the role of symptom duration. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective study was conducted in 65 patients with BPPV (20 LC and 45 PC) who were subjected to caloric testing. Average sl...

OBJECTIVE Using data from many countries in the world combined with in-depth U.S. dietary data, we explored trends in caloric sweetener intake, the role of urbanization and income changes in explaining these trends, and the contribution of specific foods to these changes. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES Food disappearance data from 103 countries in 1962 and 127 in 2000 were coupled with urban...

Seventy one cases of the acoustic tumor experienced in our clinic from 1978 to 1983 were analysed in the light of the diagnosis of a small size tumor. Although the incidence of the abnormal findings in the X ray examination was almost equal irrespective to the size of the tumor, the abnormality in hearing and caloric tests was less frequent in the small tumor than in the large one. Only half of...

We compared the mediolateral (M/L) responses to perturbations during locomotion of vestibulopathic (VP) subjects to those of controls. Eight subjects with unilateral vestibular loss (100% Reduced Vestibular Response from the caloric test) resulting from surgery for vestibular schwannoma and 11 controls were selected for this study. Despite their known vestibulopathy, all VP subjects scored with...

gmus, which were simultaneously induced not only from bitemporal but also from horizontal and vertical components of each eye separately. Following results were obtained. 1) Pathological finding in spontaneous nysta' gmus test was 54%, in ENG test was 81%, in both of spontaneous nystagmus test and ENG test was 86%, on the other hand, 65% was abnormal in caloric test. It showed that abnormal fin...

conclusions rats fed with a 30% calorie-restricted diet in comparison with to ad libitum fed controls for 8 days had significantly more prominent regression of inflammation. results decline of both body weight and paw volume was significantly more prominent in the case than in the control rats within the study period (p < 0.001 and < 0.001, respectively). paw volume decrease was more prominent ...

A high-caloric intake combined with a sedentary lifestyle is an important player in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The present study was undertaken to examine if the level of physical activity has impact on the metabolic effects of a high-caloric (+2,000 kcal/day) intake. Therefore, healthy individuals on a high-caloric intake were randomized to either 10,000 or 1,500 steps...
