We investigated macronutrient intake after intraventricular injection of galanin (GAL, 3 nmol/5 microl/rat) and/or serotonin (5-HT, 50 nmol/5 microl/rat) in self-selecting fasted rats with preferences for either carbohydrates or fats. GAL injection significantly increased carbohydrate and total intake in all rats irrespective of macronutrient preference, whereas 5-HT alone did not affect macron...

the paper demonstrates the result of changes in the physicochemical and biological properties in soil as a result of the operation of illegal dumping sites. soil was sampled from the research points located on the outskirts of the city of bydgoszcz (poland) from the site not affected by illegal dumping sites (control c), within the dumping sites, having removed the waste layer (w), and 10 m awa...

background: healthy nutrition especially the energy intake and the essential nutrient in female student is so important. this study aimed to assess micro and macro nutrient intakes in female students of isfahan university of medical sciences.  methods: this cross-sectioned study was carried out on 100 female students aged between 18 to 25 years old in 1387-1388. anthropometrics measures were pe...

A widespread perception is that carnivores are limited by the amount of prey that can be captured rather than their nutritional quality, and thus have no need to regulate macronutrient balance. Contrary to this view, recent laboratory studies show macronutrient-specific food selection by both invertebrate and vertebrate predators, and in some cases also associated performance benefits. The ques...

We present a geometric model for examining the macronutrient contributions of insects in the diets of pre-agricultural humans, and relate the findings to some contemporary societies that regularly eat insects. The model integrates published data on the macronutrient composition of insects and other foods in the diets of humans, recommended human macronutrient intakes, and estimated macronutrien...
