Medical nutrition therapy for ALS: Dietitians' approaches to diagnosing malnutrition, facilitating feeding tube discussions, and mitigating refeeding syndrome risk. [PDF]
Abstract Background Persons living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (PALS) are at high risk for malnutrition because of disease‐related factors such as dysphagia, self‐feeding difficulty, and hypermetabolism. Nutrition interventions, including enteral nutrition (EN) initiation after gastrostomy tube (G‐tube) placement, are integral to care but can ...

Digestive and locomotor capacity show opposing responses to changing food availability in an ambush predatory fish [PDF]
Metabolic rates vary widely within species, but little is known about how variation in the “floor” (i.e. standard metabolic rate in ectotherms; SMR) and “ceiling” (maximum metabolic rate; MMR) for an individual's aerobic scope (AS) are linked with the ...

Feeding Stimulates Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Mobilization in Mouse Hypothalamus. [PDF]
Previous studies have shown that the sphingolipid-derived mediator sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) reduces food intake by activating G protein-coupled S1P receptor-1 (S1PR1) in the hypothalamus.
