Record 1 2023-03-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Medication
  • Dietetics
DEF

Causing loss of appetite.

CONT

The amount of weight loss associated with the use of an anorectic drug varies from trial to trial, and the increased weight loss appears to be related in part to variables other than the drug prescribed, such as the physician-investigator, the population treated and the diet prescribed.

PHR

Anorectic action, agent, drug.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Médicaments
  • Diététique
DEF

Propre à supprimer la faim, à provoquer une anorexie momentanée.

Record 2 2016-03-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Agricultural Chemicals
  • Crop Protection
DEF

A chemical agent that causes a pest, as an insect, to stop eating.

CONT

Chemicals possess the properties of inhibiting the feeding of insect pests ... these can be classed as antifeedants. The first chemicals noticed with these properties were initially referred to as repellants, but they are not repellants in that they do not merely drive the insect away to another plant but do actually inhibit feeding on that plant. In laboratory tests insects have remained on treated plants indefinitely and eventually starved to death without eating the leaves. In field tests the insects were free to wander elsewhere seeking food ... they either found weed plants to feed on or died of predation and starvation.

OBS

"Repellant" may not be the good term to describe this concept. See the English context.

Key term(s)
  • antifeedant compound
  • antifeeding agent
  • feeding inhibitor
  • rejectant

French

Domaine(s)
  • Agents chimiques (Agriculture)
  • Protection des végétaux
DEF

Substance ou préparation qui empêche, par inhibition des réflexes de mastication et de déglutition, la prise de nourriture, en particulier chez les insectes, et qui peut être employée pour lutter contre eux.

CONT

L'antiappétant [...] inhibe l'alimentation mais [...] ne tue ni ne repousse l'insecte; celui-ci reste près de la nourriture et finit par mourir de faim.

OBS

Le terme «anorexigène» n'est peut-être pas un parfait synonyme. D'après la source GRALU (Grand Larousse universel), il se rapporte à une autre notion, et «Se dit de substances provoquant la diminution de l'appétit par suppression de la sensation de faim.»

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Agentes químicos (Agricultura)
  • Protección de las plantas
DEF

Substancia que inhibe el afán de alimentación.
