Food leftovers can be used as alternative feed ingredients for monogastric to replace human-competing feedstuffs, such as cereals, recycle a waste product, reduce the feed-food competition and keep nutrients and energy in the feed-food chain. Among food leftovers, former food products (FFPs) are no more intended for human but still suitable for animal consumption. However, the metabolic impact of FFP has never been investigated.

Introduction: Acromegaly is associated with increased vertebral fracture (VF) risk regardless of bone mineral density (BMD). However, the vertebral trabecular compartment is still low; a possible contributor to this may be impaired glucose metabolism (GM) which frequently complicates acromegaly. Additionally, soft tissue thickness may confound bone imaging in acromegaly patients.

There is global awareness that many species of elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) have life history characteristics that make them susceptible to overexploitation. The study of these animals is critical, as it contributes to increasing knowledge of these specimens and aids in their conservation. In particular, growth rate, age, fecundity, and size at maturity are key parameters for defining management and conservation strategies in elasmobranchs.
