I . Body-weight, skinfold thickness and food intake were measured at regular intervals in twenty-five young men while on an Antarctic expedition. 2. The mean calorie intake over the year was 3600 kcal/man per day; 12.1 yo of these calories were supplied by protein, 39'8 % by fat, and 48.1 % by carbohydrate. 3. The calorie intake was equivalent to that which would be expected in a moderately act...

background: ghrelin is a hormone related to food intake in rodents and humans, mainly produced in stomach. this study aimed to determine the effect of irradiation on ghrelin concentration in the gastric mucosa of rats. materials and methods : twenty-five rats were exposed to 15 gy of whole-abdominal irradiation. gastric tissue samples were obtained 1, 3, 7, 30, and 90 days after irradiation. fi...

Background: To examine the relative contributions of dietary fat intake level and its food sources and assisted reproduction parameters. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 240 infertile women. In assisted reproduction treatment cycle, body mass index (BMI), physical activity (PA), calorie intake, fat consumption and major food sources were assessed. The number of retrie...

BACKGROUND Low-energy-density diets are associated with higher diet costs per 10 MJ. Are diets of higher nutritional quality also associated with higher costs per 10 MJ? OBJECTIVE The objective was to determine the relations between energy-adjusted diet costs, dietary energy density, and nutritional quality of diets. DESIGN This was a cross-sectional study of a nationally representative sam...

OBJECTIVES Relating food diversity, quality, and intake is one of the key aspects in understanding household food security. This paper aimed at marying food intake and quality, both being measurement for food security. METHODS A household food consumption survey (n=200) exploring food diversity, quality of foods, and their relation to food intake in Embo, a poor farming community in rural Kwa...

To evaluate the validity of the recall method in estimating food intake in the distant past, we assessed past and current food intakes by mailed food questionnaires among 80 residents in Gifu, Japan who had answered the same questionnaire 9 years ago. We compared rank correlations and differences between recalled food intake scores and past ones with those between current food intake scores and...

Epidemiological studies were inconsistent on the association between soy food intake and risk of gastric cancer (GC). This study aimed to determine the role of soy food intake in the development of GC.A systematic search was conducted in PubMed and Web of Science to identify all relevant studies. Study-specific relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled using a random-e...

Central effects of insulin on 20 min. food intake were studied in rats. Insulin administration in the lateral ventricular cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) did not alter food intake in the intact or lesioned ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) rats. Whereas, after insulin injection in VMH there was a decrease in food intake. In VMH lesioned rats, subcutaneous injection of insulin increased food intake.

Recent evidence from the eating domain shows a link between impulsivity and unhealthy food intake. However, the mechanism underlying this relationship remains unclear. One possibility is an external eating style, which has been linked to both impulsivity and food intake. The current study investigated the potential mediating role of external eating in the relationship between impulsivity and fo...
