We conclude that a selective ingestion process controls the intake of organic substrates and likely contributes to the conservation of N stoichiometry in A. turgida body tissues.
The conclusion drawn by the authors that giant noctules feed on migrating birds [17] was severely criticized by some scientists who suggested a mistaken or selective ingestion of hovering feathers but not birds [18].
Selective ingestion and digestion of seeds [20] [22], horizontal and vertical (downward or upward) seed transport [16], acceleration [22], [23] or delaying of seed germination [16], [24] are the main mechanisms by which earthworms affect seedling establishment, and these processes likely are important for seedling mortality and establishment under natural conditions [19], [25].
The fasted animals displayed a more targeted and selective uptake of the glucose analogue tracer throughout the body, avoiding the general uptake throughout the whole digestive system due to food ingestion.
Four patients had some possibly associated conditions, including the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, ingestion of pseudoephedrine, left distal vertebral artery dissection, or microangiopathic hemolytic anemia.
For example, a HAS-BLED score ≥3 indicates high risk for hemorrhage and suggests that modifiable risk factors affecting bleeding should be reviewed and corrected (e.g., blood pressure, hepatic/renal function, INR, antiplatelet agents, NSAIDs, alcohol ingestion, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI)).
On the other hand, despite remarkably increased plasma active GLP-1 levels (4.2-fold increase), the ingestion of alogliptin, a selective dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, over 3 days had no effects on food intake, body weight, blood glucose levels, and plasma Fgf21 levels in KKAy mice.
Prey size is well documented as the most important property which influences ingestion and selection, but in our study we used three enteric bacterial species, characteristically similar, as targets to prevent size-selective grazing from taking place.
Systemic radioisotope therapy is where chemical properties of the isotope itself, such as radioiodine, or when chemically linked with another molecule (eg, hormone or monoclonal antibody) are capable of more selectively delivering radioisotopes, usually via ingestion or the bloodstream, to a specific organ or tumor site for more selective action.
Living brachiopods have been observed to be quite selective in the capturing of particles for ingestion and have the ability to reject unwanted excess mud and silt from the lophophore and mantle cavity by reversing the direction of the lophophore ciliary beat [ 67- 70].
Prebiotics are non-digestible carbohydrates that beneficially affect the host after ingestion as they are available as a selective energy source for probiotic Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria, stimulating their growth and activity in the colon [10].
