Variation in energetic balance among free-ranging polar bears during the spring mating and foraging season

Arctic Science
Large carnivores are capable of consuming substantial biomasses that can significantly alter their body mass and condition over short periods. Here we examine the intra-seasonal variation of polar bear (Ursus maritimus Phipps, 1774) body mass, energy ...

Hyperphagia in the Insulin-Treated Rat

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1968
SummaryProtamine zinc insulin (PZI) was administered daily to male rats by subcutaneous injection (2 units/100 gm of body weight) and comparisons were made with saline-injected control animals. As a consequence of PZI administration, the following observations were made: hyperphagia, increased body weight gain, increased lipogenesis from acetate-1-14C ...

Circadian disruption elicits sex‐specific gut microbiota, endocannabinoidome, and lipid mediator responses

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Circadian disruption via constant light induces sex‐specific remodeling of the microbiome, lipid mediators, and immune responses. Females exhibit broader gut microbiota alterations, reduced jejunal oxylipins, increased hypothalamic N‐acylethanolamines, and a more inflammatory cytokine profile. Muscle responses are sex‐ and fiber type‐dependent: females

Hypothalamic mTOR pathway mediates thyroid hormone‐induced hyperphagia in hyperthyroidism [PDF]

, 2012
Hyperthyroidism is characterized in rats by increased energy expenditure and marked hyperphagia. Alterations of thermogenesis linked to hyperthyroidism are associated with dysregulation of hypothalamic AMPK and fatty acid metabolism; however, the central

Type of diet modulates the metabolic response to sleep deprivation in rats

Nutrition & Metabolism, 2011
Background Evidence suggests that sleep loss is associated with an increased risk of obesity and diabetes; however, animal models have failed to produce weight gain under sleep deprivation (SD). Previous studies have suggested that this discrepancy could

Exploration speed in Red Knots affects spring migration timing, but only after experimentally constrained fuelling conditions

Ibis, EarlyView.
Individual variation in avian migration timing is still poorly understood, yet recent evidence shows that it is closely linked to personality traits and may also be affected by food availability. Here, we examined how the interaction of the personality trait exploration speed and food availability affected the departure timing of Red Knots Calidris ...

Medication Trials for Hyperphagia and Food-Related Behaviors in Prader–Willi Syndrome

Diseases, 2015
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by the absence of paternally expressed, imprinted genes on chromosome 15q11-13. Individuals with PWS characteristically have poor feeding and lack of appetite in infancy, followed by the

Pharmacokinetics of Orally Administered Clonidine in Dogs

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Clonidine is an α‐2 agonist shown to be both well tolerated and useful in the treatment of canine fear‐based disorders, although it is perceived to have a short duration of action. Clonidine is available in regular release and extended‐release formulations, but canine pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) data on any clonidine ...

Elevated Hypothalamic Glucocorticoid Levels Are Associated With Obesity and Hyperphagia in Male Mice

Endocrinology, 2016
Glucocorticoid (Gc) excess, from endogenous overproduction in disorders of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis or exogenous medical therapy, is recognized to cause adverse metabolic side effects.
