La Crosse Virus in Southwestern Virginia: Role of Exotic Mosquito Species and Effect of Virus Infection on Feeding
… compared to uninfected mosquitoes. Because blood meal size affects the subsequent inhibition of host seeking, experiments were done to ascertain the effect of virus infection on refeeding. Significantly more infected Ae. triseriatus mosquitoes refed but there was no effect on the refeeding rate of …

Physical and chemical effects of pelleting feed on broiler growth and behavioral parameters
… old cockerels offered diets of varying particle size, resulted in significant (P ≤ .05) increases in feed consumption rate and therefore decreases in total feeding activity for birds offered pellets and crumbles as compared to mash and reground pellets. No differences were noted in meal size, …

An assessment of the contribution of peri-urban agriculture on household food security in Tongaat, eThekwini Municipality
… indicated that they often had to cut down on meal size or on the number of meals (deemed to be severely food insecure) as compared to their counterparts – the non-farming households (about 10%) that indicated that they often had to cut down on their meal size or on the number of meals. Overall …

The effect of prior exercise on the thermic effect of carbohydrate versus fat feeding in man
… potentiates the thermic effect of a carbohydrate meal. The purpose of this study was to determine if the potentiating effect of exercise is unique to carbohydrate meals or whether prior exercise also potentiates the thermic effect of a fat meal. Subjects were 15 healthy females (24 years, 60 KG, …

Smooth Muscle-Specific Removal of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Results in Increased Vagal Afferent Innervation to the Intestine and Increased Satiation in Mice
… innervate the GI tract. Therefore, it was hypothesized BDNF is necessary for development of vagal afferents that innervate this tissue. Targeted smooth muscle-specific BDNF homozygous knockout (BDNF SM -/-) mice were generated and .vagal afferent innervation and analysis of feeding behavior were …

Breakfast dietary protein sources affect satiety and cognitive performance
… the saying that “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day,” with regular breakfast consumers generally having better macro- and micronutrient intakes, healthier body weights, and quality lifestyle. The growing bodies and developing brains of children and adolescents make them more reliant …

Endocannabinoid regulation of gastric vagal afferent signalling
… obesity which may contribute to increased meal size. Further, transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) knockout mice also show decreased GVA tension receptor sensitivity. Endocannabinoids (ECs) regulate appetite via cannabinoid 1 (CB1) receptors and are also endogenous ligands for …

Cholecystokinin Action at CCK1 Receptors in the Brain to Produce Satiety in Rats
… the satiation that occurs with ingestion of a meal. Given that devazepide readily penetrates the blood-brain barrier, it remains to be determined whether endogenous CCK is acting peripherally, within the brain, or at multiple peripheral and central sites to produce satiety. In this study we …

Effects of dry versus modified wet distillers grains with solubles with or without calcium oxide on economics, growth performance, and ruminal metabolism of beef feedlot steers
… USDA carcass grades; (2) pattern of intake and meal distribution; and (3) diet digestibility and rumen parameters. Exp. 1: Steers (n = 139; average initial BW = 336 ± 75 kg) were used in a randomized complete block design. Treatments were arranged in a 2 × 2 factorial and pens were randomly …

Within- and among-individual variation in metabolic rate in juvenile Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar
… SDA), and to test whether the SDA for a given meal varies as a function of individual traits such as SMR. If SMR is directly related to scope for growth, then the speed and size of the SDA response should also correlate with SMR (Chapter 3); (C) whether ventilation rate is sufficiently …
