Sentence examples for microstructure and meal from inspiring English sources
We assessed food intake microstructure and meal pattern, and locomotor activity and rearing as markers of food anticipatory activity (FAA).
Both feeding microstructure and meal pattern showed that previous experience with scheduled access to HFD had consequences for behaviour during replacement and refeeding stages.
The present study further characterises the large meal/binge-like eating model at a behavioural level in mice, focussing on how palatable scheduled feeding influences food intake microstructure and meal patterns.
Previous exposure to the palatable scheduled feeding regime had consequences for body weight, food intake microstructure and meal pattern, as well as activity pattern in the later study phases.
The latter can be combined with a universal eating monitor (UEM), which uses rating measures for hunger and fullness and concealed scales in the serving table to monitor intake, eating rate and meal microstructure.
The use of the UEM allows us to examine whether awareness of monitoring affects the total amount of food consumed, the microstructure of a meal and within meal appetite ratings.
In addition, we extended the model beyond the habituated response to palatable schedule feeding to assess food intake microstructure, meal patterns and activity patterns when the palatable scheduled feeding on HFD was withdrawn and then reintroduced.
Most seeds are cultivated primarily for their oil and meal.
Fig. 1 Timeline of measurements and meal consumption.
The number of daily meals was less, whereas meal duration and meal size were greater with forced traffic (6.6 ± 0.3 meals/d, 20.4 ± 0.65 min/meal, and 2.7 ± 0.09 kg/meal, respectively) than with free traffic (10.1 ± 0.3 meals/d, 15.7 ± 0.65 min/meal, and 1.8 ± 0.09 kg/meal, respectively).
