    Summary: This book provides students and researchers with reviews of biological questions related to the evolution of feeding by vertebrates in aquatic and terrestrial environments. Based on recent technical developments and novel conceptual approaches, the book covers functional questions on trophic behavior in nearly all vertebrate groups including jawless fishes. The book describes mechanisms and theories for understanding the relationships between feeding structure and feeding behavior. Finally, the book demonstrates the importance of adopting an integrative approach to the trophic system in order to understand evolutionary mechanisms across the biodiversity of vertebrates.

    Lipoic acid intake following parenteral administration with functionally linked vitamins depends on molar relations between them. It is shown that a combined administration of 35S-lipoate with these vitamins decreases radioactivity 30-120 min after the injection in most of tissues as compared to the control, except for the liver where it does not change or increases (60 min after administration in combination with thiamin or pantothenate). Following 18h thiamin and mixture of vitamins induce an intensified intake of labelled lipoic acid by the brain tissue, a 4-fold increase in case of thiamin and a 2.6-fold increase in case of the vitamins mixture.
