(n.) Anything that instructs the intellect, excites the feelings, or molds habits of character; that which nourishes.
(v. t.) To supply with food.

(14) ); and 3) those that multiply and produce large numbers of vegetative cells in the food, then release an active enterotoxin when they sporulate in the gut.
(15) (2) The treated animals ingested less liquid and solid food than controls.

(19) Male Sprague Dawley rats either trained (T, N = 9) for 11 wk on a rodent treadmill, remained sedentary, and were fed ad libitum (S, N = 8) or remained sedentary and were food restricted (pair fed, PF, N = 8) so that final body weights were similar to T. After training, T had significantly higher red gastrocnemius muscle citrate synthase activity compared with S and PF.
(20) The alpha 2 agonist, clonidine, produced a larger dose-related increase in food intake in lean rats than in the fatty rats.
Osphradium
Definition:
(n.) The olfactory organ of some Mollusca. It is connected with the organ of respiration.
Example Sentences:
(1) In preparations containing a portion of the osmoregulatory pathway, the osphradium was stimulated by 90% ASW, and the responsiveness of neuron R15, which putatively regulates antidiuresis, was tested.
(2) Contrary to earlier reports on related ampullariids, the osphradium proved to be ontogenetically older than the mantle and mantle cavity.
(3) The osphradium of the animal is presented as a small torulus formed by supporting ciliated cells.
