Postoperative reduction in appetite perception, conceptualized as an interplay between emotion, perception, and cognition, may lead to adverse nutritional outcomes. However, an increasing body of research suggests that it may serve as an adaptive mechanism to inhibit inflammatory responses and regulate metabolic burden. This review comprehensively summarizes the multifaceted mechanisms underlying postoperative changes in appetite perception, particularly from the perspectives of immune regulation, inflammatory suppression, and metabolic reprogramming. Special attention is paid to the affective and cognitive dimensions of appetite perception, exploring how emotion-related processing and neurocognitive feedback contribute to appetite perception suppression during recovery. Moreover, this review highlights the clinical significance of these affective-perceptual changes in postoperative nutritional management, emphasizing the need to integrate psychological, perceptual, and neuroimmune factors into patient care strategies. Ultimately, the article explores the potential role of postoperative appetite perception reduction in modulating insulin sensitivity and improving systemic metabolic health. Based on current literature, we advocate for reevaluating appetite perception dynamics during recovery to provide novel theoretical foundations and practical directions for targeted postoperative nutritional interventions.

The arginine-phenylalanine-amide neuropeptide receptor family comprises a subclass within the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily with crucial roles in physiological regulation. These receptors recognize and bind neuropeptides with an arginine-phenylalanine-amide motif, thereby participating in a variety of biological processes such as energy metabolism, pain perception, and reproductive functions. In this review, we explore the physiological and pathological processes involving these receptors and delve into the structure-activity relationships of their ligand peptides, clarifying the key structural motifs within these neuropeptides that determine their biological activity, pharmacological potency, and receptor selectivity.

Research on parental feeding practices has focused on mothers, often overlooking fathers' perspectives and the influence of child sex. This study examined (1) differences between fathers' and mothers' own eating behaviours, their use of feeding practices, and perceptions of their children's eating behaviours, and (2) the role of child sex in these perceptions and practices. Parents (N = 784; 145 fathers and 639 mothers) of preschoolers (3-5 years, 51.

The marketing and commercialization of infant formula have been identified as major barriers to breastfeeding, influencing parental feeding choices through a wide range of strategies that include persuasive packaging elements. This work explores how mothers in Uruguay perceive infant formula packaging and examines the influence of marketing elements on their perceptions and behavioral intentions. An exploratory sequential mixed-methods design was employed, combining semi-structured interviews with a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Veterinarians are key stakeholders in fighting African Swine Fever (ASF), yet their awareness, perceptions and attitudes of ASF are often unknown. This is crucial, especially in Estonia where ASF has persisted for almost 10 years. We conducted five focus groups involving 11 farm veterinarians and 4 assistants working on Estonian commercial pig farms.
