Dietary macronutrient composition and exogenous neuropeptide Y affect feed intake in brioler chicks
… of NPY in appetite regulation, the effects of macronutrient composition of diets on NPY function have not been elucidated in non-mammalian species. This research investigates how food intake is affected by dietary macronutrient composition in broiler type chickens that are fed three varying …

Effects of dietary macronutrient composition and exogenous neuropeptide Y on adipose tissue development in broiler chicks
… research was to investigate the effect of dietary macronutrient composition on neuropeptide Y (NPY)-mediated regulation of adipose tissue physiology in broiler chickens during the early post-hatch period. A high-carbohydrate (HC), high-fat (HF) or high-protein (HP) diet was fed to broiler …

Effects of dietary macronutrient profile and feeding frequency on circulating metabolites, postprandial endocrine response, and voluntary physical activity of healthy adult cats
… and feeding strategies to understand how dietary factors may affect appetite regulation, metabolism, and energy expenditure of cats and in the development of weight-loss programs. Herein, six studies were designed to address two major research objectives: 1) to evaluate how dietary …

Nutrition modulates the interaction between the bacterium Xenorhadbus nematophila and its lepidopteran host Spodoptera littoralis
… Findings confirmed the role of dietary protein intake on S. littoralis resistance against pathogens (Chapter 2) and indicated possible carbohydrate-use by the caterpillar to tolerate infection (Chapter 3). Dietary macronutrient intake altered the proportion of key nutrient groups …

Central mechanisms of prolactin-releasing peptides orexigenic effect in chickens
… The orexigenic effect of PrRP was influenced by dietary macronutrient composition, and diet in turn influenced the food intake response to PrRP. These results may contribute to a novel understanding of appetite regulation.
