Feasibility of compensatory growth in early juveniles of "red claw" crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus under high density conditions
(Elsevier Science, 2019-06)
The aim of this work is to study the feasibility to induce compensatory growth in Cherax quaricarinatus crayfish at an early stage of development under high density, the typical conditions of nursery phase. An advantageous ...
EFFECT OF FOOD SHORTAGE ON GROWTH, ENERGETIC RESERVES MOBILIZATION, AND WATER QUALITY IN JUVENILES OF THE REDCLAW CRAYFISH, CHERAX QUADRICARINATUS, REARED IN GROUPS
(Crustacean Soc, 2014-09-01)
The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of food shortage on growth performance, by means of energetic reserves (proteins, glycogen and lipids) mobilization and hepatopancreas cells analysis in C. quadricarinatus ...
The effect of skin-to-skin contact at birth, early versus immediate, on the duration of exclusive human lactancy in full-term newborns treated at the Clínica Universidad de La Sabana: study protocol for a randomized clinical trial
(Trials, 2016-10-26)
Background
Human lactancy is a simple and cost-effective strategy that influences infant and maternal mortality rates. Skin-to-skin contact (SSC) is an immediate postpartum period strategy that has proven to benefit the ...
Dysphagia and tube feeding after stroke are associated with poorer functional and mortality outcomes
(2020-09-01)
Background & aims: Stroke is the leading cause of disability in adult life. Oropharyngeal dysphagia occurs in 65–90% of patients, and its identification in the acute phase of stroke can prevent complications. The aim of ...
GOAT induced ghrelin acylation regulates hedonic feeding
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2012-11)
Ghrelin is an orexigenic hormone that regulates homeostatic and reward-related feeding behavior. Recent evidence indicates that acylation of ghrelin by the gut enzyme ghrelin O-acyl transferase (GOAT) is necessary to render ...
Exploring food preferences and the limits of feeding flexibility of seed-eating desert birds
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-10)
Habitat degradation caused by cattle grazing may be a serious threat for seed-eating birds because the availability of beneficial seeds usually diminishes in grazed areas. Ecologically plastic species might, however, ...
Long-term starvation and posterior feeding effects on biochemical and physiological responses of midgut gland of Cherax quadricarinatus juveniles (Parastacidae)
(Public Library of Science, 2016-03)
We investigated the effect of long-term starvation and posterior feeding on energetic reserves, oxidative stress, digestive enzymes, and histology of C. quadricarinatus midgut gland. The crayfish (6.27 g) were randomly ...
