Regulation of Food Intake01:30

Regulation of Food Intake

2.0K
Short-term regulation of food intake primarily involves neural signals from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, blood nutrient levels, and GI tract hormones. Communication between the gut and brain via vagal nerve fibers plays a significant role in evaluating the contents of the gut. Clinical studies have shown that protein ingestion produces a more prolonged response in these nerve fibers compared to an equivalent amount of glucose. Additionally, the activation of stretch receptors caused by GI...

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

102
Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

Dietary Connections

60.9K
In biological systems, most metabolic pathways are interconnected. The cellular respiration processes that convert glucose to ATP—such as glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, and the citric acid cycle—tie into those that break down other organic compounds. As a result, various foods—from apples to cheese to guacamole—end up as ATP. In addition to carbohydrates, food also contains proteins and lipids—such as cholesterol and fats. All of these organic compounds are used...

Regulation of the Digestive System

2.2K
Digestive activity regulation hinges on three primary components. Activation is prompted by a multitude of mechanical and chemical indicators, primarily detected by receptors within the stomach and intestines' walls. These receptors predominantly respond to factors such as mechanical stretching of the organ walls, changes in pH and osmolarity, and the presence of digesting materials and their by-products.
The effectors in this regulation system are glands and smooth muscles. Activation of...

Metabolic States of the Body: Fasting and Starvation01:24

Metabolic States of the Body: Fasting and Starvation

2.4K
During the initial hours of fasting, the body uses up its glycogen stores as an energy source. Once these glycogen reserves are depleted, the body begins breaking down stored triglycerides and structural proteins. During this stage, glycerol becomes a key substrate for gluconeogenesis, while free fatty acids undergo beta-oxidation to provide energy for tissues, such as skeletal muscle. In the fasting state, the body spares protein breakdown as much as possible to conserve muscle and structural...

Second Law of Thermodynamics00:53

Second Law of Thermodynamics

66.6K
The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that entropy, or the amount of disorder in a system, increases each time energy is transferred or transformed. Each energy transfer results in a certain amount of energy that is lost—usually in the form of heat—that increases the disorder of the surroundings. This can also be demonstrated in a classic food web. Herbivores harvest chemical energy from plants and release heat and carbon dioxide into the environment. Carnivores harvest the...

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Economics
  • Sociology of Food
  • Digital Transformation

Background:

  • The academic discourse on digitalization in agriculture primarily addresses input and farm-level applications.
  • The current agri-food system operates within the framework of the third food regime.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the pervasive influence of digital technologies across the entire agri-food system.
  • To analyze how digitalization reshapes control mechanisms and value extraction within the third food regime.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 280 digital services and products within the agri-food sector.
  • Examination of the organizational changes in the agri-food system due to digital technology adoption.

Main Results:

  • Digital technologies are integrated throughout the entire food commodity chain, not just at the farm level.
  • These technologies perpetuate existing retail control while introducing new data-based control and value extraction methods.
  • Large technology corporations are increasing their market share in the agri-food sector.
  • Multinational agri-food companies are adopting digital platform business models.

Conclusions:

  • Digitalization in the third food regime represents both a continuation of existing structures and a radical transformation.
  • The agri-food sector is undergoing a transition towards digital capitalism, mirroring broader economic shifts.
  • The study highlights the evolving landscape of control and market dynamics within the global agri-food system.
