A detailed questionnaire for the evaluation of health management in dairy sheep and goats
(2020)The objective of this work was to develop, use and present a detailed questionnaire for the evaluation of health management in dairy small ruminants; it includes 442 questions organised in seven sections: general, ... -
Effect of nutrition on postprandial glucose control in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes receiving fully automated closed-loop insulin therapy
(2021)Fully automated closed-loop insulin delivery may offer a novel way to manage diabetes in hospital. However, postprandial glycaemic control remains challenging. We aimed to assess the effect of nutritional intake on ... -
Effects of Alternative Fertilization and Irrigation Practices on the Energy Use and Carbon Footprint of Canning Peach Orchards
(2022)Throughout peach orchards in Greece, plant protection, fertilization and irrigation are often conducted empirically, negatively affecting energy use efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG emissions). The aim of this ... -
The effects of changes in nutritional demand on gastrointestinal parasitism in lactating rats
(2007)Lactating rats experience a breakdown of immunity to parasites, i.e. they carry larger worm burdens after re-infection compared to their non-lactating counterparts. Feeding high-protein foods to lactating rats results in ... -
Effects of nutrition/diet on brown adipose tissue in humans: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(2020)Background: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) provides a minor contribution to diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT)—the metabolic response to food consumption. Increased BAT activity is generally considered beneficial for mammalian ... -
Effects on puberty of nutrition-mediated endocrine disruptors employed in agriculture
(2021)Pesticide residues are largely found in daily consumed food because of their extensive use in farming and their long half-life, which prolongs their presence in the environment. Many of these pesticides act as endocrine-disrupting ... -
Eight weeks unsupervised pulmonary rehabilitation in previously hospitalized of sars-cov-2 infection
(2021)The aim of our study was to determine the impact of unsupervised Pulmonary Rehabilitation (uns-PR) on patients recovering from COVID-19, and determine its anthropometric, biological, demographic and fitness correlates. All ... -
Estimated Reductions in Added Sugar Intake among US Children and Youth in Response to Sugar Reduction Targets
(2022)Background: In 2021, the National Salt and Sugar Reduction Initiative (NSSRI) released voluntary sugar reduction targets for packaged foods and drinks in the United States. Objective: The objectives of this study were to ... -
Exploiting synergisms and interactions in the nutritional approaches to parasite control in sheep production systems
(2008)Occurrence of resistance to anthelmintics and increased awareness about drug residues entering the food chain and harming the environment, have called for a reduction in the regular, preventive use of anthelmintics and an ... -
A feed additive containing Bacillus toyonensis (Toyocerin (R)) protects against enteric pathogens in postweaning piglets
(2015)AimsThis study evaluated the efficacy of a probiotic containing Bacillus toyonensis spores (Toyocerin((R))) in postweaning piglets against enteric pathogens. Methods and ResultsSeven hundred and ninety-two healthy weaning ... -
Food resources and quality for the introduced cretan wild goat or agrimi Capra aegagrus cretica on Atalandi Island, Greece, and implications for ecosystem management
(1996)A study of seasonal food availability and quality for Cretan wild goat or agrimi Capra aegagrus cretica introduced on Atalandi Island, Greece, was conducted during 1988-89. The major portion of available forage consisted ... -
Fragility of cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) examining nutrition interventions among patients with diabetes mellitus: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials
(2022)Purpose: There is controversy regarding the optimal statistical method to interpret how robust is a statistically significant result. The fragility index (FI) and the reverse fragility index (RFI) are quantitative measures ... -
'Freedom from hunger' and preventing obesity: the animal welfare implications of reducing food quantity or quality
(2009)In animals, including humans, free access to high-quality (generally energy-dense) food can result in obesity, leading to physiological and health problems. Consequently, various captive animals, including laboratory and ... -
