A series of studies in rat using isoenergetic (kcal/ml) liquid diets differing in fat content has previously found dietary fat to dose-dependently increase daily caloric intake. In single-meal tests in which meal initiation was externally evoked in feeding-associated environments, the behavioral expression of this overeating was found to be larger meal intake. The present studies confirmed the ecological validity of this larger meal size of high-fat diet (HF) relative to high-carbohydrate diet (HC): meal size of HF>HC in home-cage testing (Experiment 1), and during undisturbed, spontaneous feeding in which ingestive behavior was continuously monitored (Experiments 2 and 3). These findings demonstrate that single-meal paradigms yield results consistent with spontaneous feeding of high-fat and high-carbohydrate liquid diets, thus supporting the use of single-meal studies to better understand the physiological bases of elevated caloric intake associated with chronic consumption of a high-fat diet.

Background: Patients undergoing gastrectomy often experience postprandial hypoglycaemia, late dumping syndrome, and night-time hypoglycaemia. However, countermeasures for post-gastrectomy hypoglycaemia rely on the patients' own efforts. We sought to investigate how post-gastrectomy hypoglycaemia could be nutritionally improved in patients with gastric cancer.

Enhancing the quality of Family Child Care Home (FCCH) meals is an opportunity to impact children's diet and health. The purpose of this study is to assess Happy Healthy Homes (HHH) randomized controlled trial impact on health-related foods and nutrients served to and consumed by young children and achievement of Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) requirements and best practices. Forty-five CACFP participating FCCHs in a moderately sized midwestern city were recruited in 2017-2018 and randomized to nutrition intervention (NUT = 24) or control (CON = 21).

Dried radish seed is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine that is rich in oil and protein. Radish seed meal, which is a byproduct of oil production, is high in protein (30%-35%). In order to develop a novel plant protein with excellent functional properties, this study investigated the effects of ultrasound treatment (20 kHz, amplitude of 40%, 0-10 min) on the physicochemical, functional, and antioxidant properties of radish seed protein (RSP) extracted from radish seed meal.

As dog owners continue to seek to feed their dogs similarly to themselves, there is demand for high protein, low carbohydrate (HPLC) diets. The consumption of HPLC diets can improve glycemic control, similarly to high fiber diets. However, the effects of HPLC and high fiber diets on cardiac function have yet to be evaluated in healthy dogs.

Males and females within a population may differ in dietary composition either as a non-adaptive consequence of sexual dimorphism, or because specific food types enhance fitness more in one sex than the other. To test between those two explanations, we can ask whether the consumption of a food type (a) is constrained by sexually dimorphic traits such as body size, or (b) differentially benefits the sex that consumes that food more frequently. A 23-year field study of Slatey-Grey Snakes (Stegonotus australis) in tropical Australia provided data on 663 meals, of which 130 were reptile eggs (primarily from Keelback Snakes (Tropidonophis mairii)).
