Without a measurement of actual food consumption, it is difficult to determine ingestion rates and relative allocation towards metabolic requirements.
Instead, a dietary fish test has been developed to determine uptake by ingestion, yielding a biomagnification factor (BMF) [33].
We determined the ingestion rates of three different species of adult copepod females (C. helgolandicus, A. clausii and O. similis) feeding on A. tamarense in the treatments (see Figure 2).
By contrast, a recent assessment of children's exposure to chlorpyrifos, diazinon, malathion, and atrazine determined that ingestion rather than inhalation was the dominant route (Clayton et al. 2003).
Analysis of chloroform and trichloethene in expired breath, compounds regulated in water, was also used to determine uptake from tap water by each route (inhalation, ingestion, or absorption).
Objective To determine if ingestion of 2 doses of milk-based dietary supplements produce gaseous symptoms in subjects who malabsorb lactose.
The feasibility of using a live Escherichia coli population, which had been engineered to express the green fluorescent protein (GFP), coupled with fluorimetry, was tested as a means for determining protozoan ingestion rates.
After determining that ingestion of Pf-5 killed larvae, we investigated factors contributing to this toxicity.
Thus, we set out to determine whether ingestion of dsSeCHSA affects the structure of larval cuticle, trachea or midgut peritrophic matrix in abnormal larvae.
In the present study we used an animal model to determine whether ingestion of fat with resulting obesity can affect the capacity of the immune system to resist bacterial sepsis.
