Biomarkers of Bone Turnover in Vegetarians and Omnivores
<p>A cross-sectional study on fasting serum and 24-hour urine samples were used to determine whether biochemical markers of bone turnover, resorption and formation, differed in a group of 50 healthy premenopausal Caucasian women eating vegan, lactoovovegetarian(LOV) and omnivorous diets.</p> <p>The …

The dietary intake and growth of vegetarian children (aged 7-11 years) compared with omnivores in North West England.
… with that of 50 age-, sex- and race-matched omnivores. Diet was assessed at 6 month intervals using three, 3-day diet diaries and follow-up interviews. Anthropometric measurements (height, weight, mid-arm circumference, biceps and triceps skinfolds) were similarly taken 3 times. Multiple …

Secular Trends in Life Expectancy by Diet Status Among Never Smoking Seventh-day Adventists
… = 34,192) were combined. The life expectancy of omnivores was compared to vegetarians separately in never-smoking males and females for all-cause mortality, and where the cause of death was cardiovascular disease or all site-cancer. Life expectancies were calculated for subjects who had survived …

The Relationship between Meat Consumption and the Biological Determinants of Cardiovascular Disease Risk
… lower in the vegetarian subjects than in the omnivores. The serum total cholesterol levels were also lower in the vegetarian subjects compared to the omnivores (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in Glu, HBA1, LDL, VLDL, HDL, PF4, and BTG levels between the two groups.</p>

Of meat, morals, and masculinity : factors underlying the consumption of non-human animals, and inferences about another’s character
… research by exploring the differences in the way omnivores and vegetarians perceive animals and people whose diets do or do not include meat. In Study 1, participants reported their willingness to eat a series of animal- and vegetable-sourced foods, as well as their perceptions of the animals’ …

Anthropogenic effects on site use and temporal patterns of terrestrial mammals in Harenna Forest, Ethiopia
… were generally higher for herbivores and omnivores (occupancy: 0.28-0.97; detection: 0.1-0.54) than carnivores (occupancy: 0.31-0.80; detection: 0.04-0.18). I found more evidence of positive anthropogenic impacts on herbivore and omnivore occupancy than negative, while detection was …

Influence of Spatiotemporal Variables in Structuring the Nematode Community of a Freshwater System
… feeders, (4.) predators of animals, and (5.) omnivores. Specifically, 51.8% of the total nematodes recovered were classified as bacterivores, 21.3% were predators, 14.2% were omnivores, 11.3% were unicellular eukaryote feeders, and 1.3% were herbivores. Both season and substratum type appeared …

Nutrient regulation by an omnivore and the effects on performance and distribution
Omnivores have a unique interaction with their nutritional environment because they have adapted to consume food from different trophic levels. To successfully navigate their variable resources, omnivores must maintain some level of nutrient regulation. To explore the effects of nutrient regulation …

Assessing potential navigation impacts to the Kanawha river ecosystem: a modeling approach
… into six trophic groups. Trophic generalists (omnivores and herbivore/detritivores) consumed a variety of foods including considerable detritus. These groups accounted for 73 to 83% of total ichthyomass and 81% of total adult production. Total fish consumption at the more riverine upper site …

Natural alpha-radioactivity in bone, liver and blood samples from the various species
… of animals were studied (herbivores, carnivores, omnivores and marine environment). Man shows very low levels of alpha-activity compared with other species of which the group "herbivores" show highest levels of alpha-activity, including large amounts of Po-210. The marine environment species show …

The Role of Oral Nitrate Reducing Bacteria in Cardiovascular Health: Impacts of Diet and Exercise
… and nitrate metabolism in vegetarians and omnivores. Notable alterations in bacterial composition were observed after mouthwash administration, including reductions in the Prevotella genus (from 27.7% to 9.6%, P = 0.001) and Actinomyces genus (from 9.5% to 5.7%, P = 0.001), along with …

Understanding the role of fragmentation in informing small mammal diversity and abundance in Rûens Renosterveld
… a diet different to what would be expected, with omnivores displaying lower δ 13C than herbivores, and no clear trophic separation based on δ 15N between herbivores, omnivores and insectivores. This work is important for renosterveld conservation, which seeks to implement cost effective and …

Effects Of Patch Size And Matrix Type On Bird Assemblages Within Central Florida Cypress Domes
… on ground foragers, lower-canopy foragers, omnivores, herbivores, and edge species. I then investigated the effects of size and matrix on standardized guild abundance. Dome size and matrix significantly effected diet guild abundance, but the size-matrix interaction did not. Dome size …

Binding of Steroid Hormones In Vitro by Water-Insoluble Dietary Fiber
… higher in the Vs than in the LOVs and omnivores. Additionally, there was a significant relationship, for all groups combined, between water insoluble fiber intakes and binding of estrone and testosterone. These results suggest that diet may modify hormonal status, possibly through …

Diet of the Tropicalised Herbivore Siganus fuscescens Across a Broad Latitudinal Gradient and Comparisons With Temperate Seagrass-associated Omnivorous Fishes
… other locations. In comparison, the temperate omnivores Haletta semifasciata, Heteroscarus acroptilus and Scobinichthys granulatus, which were shown to be the most abundant omnivorous fish species in the seagrass meadows, consumed seagrass in moderate quantities, but showed distinct …

Effects of Seasonal Burns on Avian Foraging in a Central Texas Ashe Juniper-Live Oak Savanna

Multi-trophic Biodiversity Increases with Increasing Structural Complexity of Forest Canopy
