Assessing foraging strategies of herbivores in Mediterranean oak woodlands: a r...

Montados are agro-silvo-pastoral ecosystems, typical of the Southwest Iberian Peninsula, of high socio-economic and conservation importance,where grazing is a dominant activity. Montados are characterized by na open tree canopy of Quercus sp. and a diverse undercover of shrubs and grasslands that constitute the plant food resources for grazing animals. Plant food resources of Montados are highly variable, both ...

Influence of taste sensitivity in diet choices and obesity among children.

Introduction: The prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity in Portugal is about 35% (Rito et al., 2012). Lifestyle and dietary habits are important risk factors for weight gain. Food choice and acceptance greatly relies on food perception. The evaluation of taste sensitivity in children and its relation to dietary choices and Body Mass Index (BMI) will be important in a context of obesity prevention. None...

Variations in salivary function in a rodent model of pre-diabetes

Diabetes is a widespread disease representing an enormous part of the total health costs. An early diagnostic could be of extremely importance both for the understanding and prevention of this pathology. Saliva is a fluid with increasing interest as a source of biomarkers for disease diagnostic and saliva protein composition changes have already been reported for diabetic individuals. However, the studies were ...

The Influence of oral environment on diet choices in goats: a focus on saliva p...

There is ample evidence that ruminants are capable of making choices between different foods that provide a more balanced diet that would be obtained by eating at random. In the particular case of goats, they occupy a diversity of habitats and different breeds present variability of feeding behaviors resultant from adaptations to the existent plant species. In their food search activity, individuals are faced w...

Effect of condensed tannin ingestion in sheep and goat parotid saliva proteome

Saliva appears as a defence mechanism, against potential negative effects of tannins, in some species of animals which have to deal with these plant secondary metabolites in their regular diets. This study was carried out to investigate changes in parotid saliva protein profiles of sheep Ovis aries)and goats (Capra hircus), induced by condensed tannin ingestion. Five Merino sheep and five Serpentina goats were ...

Morphological alterations in salivary glands of mice (Mus musculus) submitted t...

In order to study the effects of tannins at histomorphological level, mice were either fed with three structurally different types of tannins (tannic acid, chestnut, and quebracho) or treated with isoproterenol, during 10 days. Acini of parotid and submandibular glands increased significantly, being the increase higher for parotid compared to submandibular glands, and higher in the quebracho compared with the o...
