Lors de recherches précliniques, la majorité des études use de conditions expérimentales pouvant nuire au bien-être de l’animal ainsi qu’à ses capacités motivationnelles, locomotrices et cognitives. En effet, ces recherches testent les individus lors de leur période d’inactivité, sous restriction alimentaire et isolés de leurs congénères. Cependant, les facteurs environnementaux sont des éléments critiques quant à la bonne performance du sujet. Ces derniers affectent de façons multiples et diverses les composantes sous-tendant le comportement et la cognition des animaux. Ainsi, le but de ce mémoire est d’évaluer si la manipulation de facteurs environnementaux tels que le cycle veille-sommeil, la privation alimentaire, l’attractivité du renforçateur et l’effet de groupe ou de l’isolation influence la cognition et le comportement de souris C57BL/6J lors de diverses tâches. Lors de cette expérience, les individus sont testés selon deux conditions d’expérimentation, soit standards (sous un régime alimentaire et isolés de ses congénères) soit « enrichies » (nourris ad libitum et logés en groupe) et selon deux moments de testing, durant la phase d’activité ou d’inactivité. Dès lors, l’objectif de cette recherche est de fournir des conditions d’expérimentation et de bien-être optimales aux rongeurs tout en permettant à l’expérimentateur de tester dans des conditions idéales. Les résultats obtenus n’ont pas confirmé l’ensemble des hypothèses posées. Il semblerait que la manipulation du moment de testing influence les capacités des animaux lorsqu’ils sont testés dans des conditions enrichies mais pas lorsqu’ils sont testés dans des conditions standards. De nombreux facteurs peuvent être la raison de l’absence d’effets de la manipulation du moment de testing dans des conditions standards. Effectivement, la présence de Zeitgeber, la modulation du taux d’éveil suite à la manipulation de l’individu, la quantité de sommeil dont l’animal profite directement après l’essai ainsi que la facilité des diverses tâches sont des pistes pouvant expliquer cette absence de différence. Par conséquent, des recherches futures devront être effectuées suivant diverses modifications conseillées et en faisant attention à certaines manipulations pouvant affecter indirectement l’individu.

One hundred and twenty-eight pigs were reared in barren or enriched environments from birth to slaughter at 21 weeks of age. Pigs remained as litter-mate groups until 8 weeks of age when they were mixed into groups of eight animals. These groups were balanced for gender and weight and contained two pigs from each of four different litters. Each pig was assigned high or low social status on the basis of relative success in aggressive interactions at mixing. Injury levels were assessed on a weekly basis from 8 to 2 1 weeks of age. Pigs were exposed to two group food competition tests after a period of food restriction at 10 weeks of age, and to an individual novel pen test at 11 weeks of age. Behavioural and plasma cortisol responses to both types of test were recorded. Low social status was associated with increased injuries to the head, neck and ears, and therefore reduced welfare. Pigs with low social status showed reduced resource-holding ability in the food competition test, and greater avoidance of a novel object during the novel pen test. It is suggested that avoidance of the novel object reflected 'learned' fearfulness in these individuals. Environmental enrichment did not negate the effect of low social status on injury levels, but did appear to reduce the negative influence of low social status on stress during food restriction, and led to a reduction in fearfulness in response to the novel pen test. These results suggest that environmental enrichment may improve the we/fare of growing pigs with low social status

Abject Relations presents an alternative approach to anorexia, long considered the epitome of a Western obsession with individualism, beauty, self-control, and autonomy. Through detailed ethnographic investigations, Megan Warin looks at the heart of what it means to live with anorexia on a daily basis. Participants describe difficulties with social relatedness, not being at home in their body, and feeling disgusting and worthless. For them, anorexia becomes a seductive and empowering practice that cleanses bodies of shame and guilt, becomes a friend and support, and allows them to forge new social relations. Unraveling anorexia's complex relationships and contradictions, Warin provides a new theoretical perspective rooted in a socio-cultural context of bodies and gender. Abject Relations departs from conventional psychotherapy approaches and offers a different "logic," one that involves the shifting forces of power, disgust, and desire and provides new ways of thinking that may have implications for future treatment regimes.

Over the last 100 years, the numerous advances in science, the improved sanitary conditions and a decline in poverty have led to an increase in life expectancy. As a result, in the coming years, the number of over-65s will triple, and the over-80s will be the fastest growing portion of the population.However, an increased lifespan is associated with an increase in chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, sarcopenia, and degenerative disorders. Therefore, ideally, increased lifespan should be associated to a better healthspan, which is the period one individual is living in good health.Based on evidence that aging is a multifaceted phenomenon, resulting from one or more failures at the molecular, cellular, physiologic, and functional levels, age-related diseases are difficult therapeutic targets.Data on the correlation between the quality of one’s diet and life expectancy, and the application of calorie restriction regimens, or of micronutrients, antioxidants and functional foods in the diet make nutrition, together with exercise, a natural weapon to combat age-related diseases and improve healthspan.

Health is defined as “the state of the organism when it functions optimally without evidence of disease”. Surprisingly, the words “microbes” or “microorganism” are missing in this definition. The regulation of gut microbiota is mediated by an enormous quantity of aspects, such as microbiological factors, host characteristics, diet patterns, and environmental variables. Some protective, structural, and metabolic functions have been reported for gut microbiota, and these functions are related to the regulation of homeostasis and host health. Host defense against pathogens is, in part, mediated through gut microbiota action and requires intimate interpretation of the current microenvironment and discrimination between commensal and occasional bacteria. The present Special Issue provides a summary of the progress on the topic of intestinal microbiota and its important role in human health in different populations. This Special Issue will be of great interest from a clinical and public health perspective. Nevertheless, more studies with more samples and comparable methods are necessary to understand the actual function of intestinal microbiota in disease development and health maintenance.

Eating disorders (ED) are a group of mental disorders characterized by an altered food intake and the presence of inappropriate behaviors and thoughts about weight and shape. All EDs lead to physical and psychosocial functioning impairments in the patients which, in turn, may contribute to the persistence of the disease. The severity of EDs has been highlighted by their chronicity, medical complications, comorbidity, and high rates of mortality. Therefore, to address this important health issue, the current Special Issue collected 21 articles (i.e., three reviews and 18 research articles) focusing on the most recent and relevant scientific findings regarding advances in ED, such as genetic and epigenetic factors, biomarkers, comorbidity, clinical phenotypes, neurocognition, treatment predictors, and treatment models and therapeutic targets. Altogether, we believe that the articles contained in this Special Issue have largely achieved the initial objective of providing increased knowledge about the pathogenesis, the risk factors, the maintenance factors, and the most appropriate treatments tools for ED.
