...-term energy deficit and refeeding remain to be elucidated. We showed that after a long-term energy deficit, mice exhibited persistent hypoleptinemia following the refeeding period despite restoration of fat mass, ovarian activity, and feeding behavior. We aimed to examine the hypothalamic adaptations...

... food deprivation. Since effects of starvation were most apparent in young female rats, such rats were used to study hypothalamic TRH release during starvation and subsequent refeeding. Basal in vitro hypothalamic TRH secretion was less in starved rats than in control or refed animals. In vitro...

... immunization with SRIF antiserum (A-SRIF) on the reduced basal TSH secretion in rats starved for 72 h and on the plasma TSH surge following carbohydrate (CHO) refeeding. This latter experiment was performed at two different times of the day in order to elucidate whether SRIF may participate in the regulation...

...Stephen Harvey; Hillar Klandorf; Yosee Pinchasov Concentrations of corticosterone were determined in the plasma of fasted domestic fowl before and at intervals after refeeding. The deprivation of food markedly increased (p < 0.001) the level of plasma corticosterone. When refed ad libitum...

... that, in the golden hamster, diurnal plasma fluctuations have a mean interpeak interval of 70- 80 min, that serum GH concentrations are affected by nyctohemeral differences in lighting, by ether vapors, by animal’s gender, and by starvation and refeeding. Basal GH concentrations were not influenced by exposure...

... that, in the golden hamster, diurnal plasma prolactin fluctuations have a mean interpeak interval of 1.5 h, that serum prolactin concentrations are influenced by day length, by ether vapors, by animal’s gender, and by refeeding following a fast but not by neurosurgical procedures which increase somatic growth...
