"chemostatic" Explanation: Chemostatic regulation This mechanism functions when blood levels of specific metabolites rise, sending a signal that causes the animal's appetite to be depressed. In the case of dairy cattle, volatile fatty acids are the metabolites that cause the signal to be sent; a few hours after a cow has consumed a meal, the volatile fatty acid levels in the rumen start to rise as a result of rumen fermentation of the ingested substrates. http://www.fao.org/DOCREP/ARTICLE/AGRIPPA/X9500E02.htm |

Yes. Please see below Explanation: Seems to be the adjectival form of the word chemiostasis. Please see website below: http://www.chacha.com/question/what-is-chemiostasis Chemo-a combining form with the meaning "chemical," stasis-the state of equilibrium or inactivity caused by opposing equal forces. Chemiostasis is the state of chemical equilibrium. Thanks for using ChaCha! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 mins (2010-11-15 12:16:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- So, chemiostasis is the "state of chemical equilibrium." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 mins (2010-11-15 12:20:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here's a website using the word "chemiostatic" on growing rabbits in good sanitary conditions with proper energy requirements for maintenance and growth, etc. which will relate it to your animal husbandry and nutrition topic. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 mins (2010-11-15 12:20:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.asic-wrsa.it/documenti/XiccatoAssiut2010.pdf -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 mins (2010-11-15 12:22:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Please see page 2 of the above website (PDF) under the title "Voluntary feed and energy intake." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2010-11-16 00:36:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Thank you, neilmac. I'll watch it...Funny that I found the link you're working on :-) But, it seems that the word "chemiostasis" does exist...Or, is that an online boo-boo, too? |
