Ingestive behaviour of control and experimental rats following 96 hours of starvation was studied. The control animals were injected normal saline intraperitoneally (I.P.) whereas the experimental animals were injected I.P. with fresh plasma obtained from well fed rats. Having been presented with food 15 minutes after the injections, the food intake (Gms +/- SEM) of control animals for the first five hours after injection was 6.00 +/- 0.44, whereas, the intake in experimental animals for the same period was 0.55 +/- 0.05. The food intake was significantly suppressed for the next three days, attaining the normal values by the 4th day. Since all the rats were starved prior to injection, all of them increased in weight during the four days of study, but the increase seen in the experimental group was much subdued. Therefore the plasma factor, suppresses not only the food intake but also the gain in body weight.

The impact of crying, sleeping, and eating problems in infants on childhood behavioral outcomes: A meta-analysis.

Front Child Adolesc Psychiatry

February 2023

Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany.

Background: There is increasing evidence that regulatory problems (RPs), such as excessive crying, sleeping or feeding problems in infancy, could be associated with the development of behavioral problems in childhood. In this meta-analysis we aimed to investigate the strength and characteristics of this association.

Methods: A systematic literature search (PubMed/PsycInfo, until 15/08/2021) for longitudinal prospective studies of infants with RPs and at least one follow-up assessment reporting incidence and/or severity of behavioral problems was conducted.
