Individual genetic variations of eight SNPs associated with risk of obesity in preschool age children from STRONG Kids Program
… TUB) have been associated with symptoms of poor appetite control and obesity-related phenotypes. Hypothesis. Individual genetic variations related to satiety and appetite control in the BDNF, FTO, LEP, LEPR, MC4R, PCSK1, POMC, and TUB genes are associated with the risk of obesity in preschool-age …

Development of beverage model to test appetite control food ingredients : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Technology in Food Technology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand
… project is part of the broader ‘Foods for Appetite Control’ research programme of Plant & Food Research. The programme aims to deliver validated satiety effects (reduce appetite and provide more than four hours of satiety) in foods through phytochemicals and macro-nutrients. As it is …

Uncoupling sweetness and energy in habitual high and low consumers of artificial sweetners: effects on appetite
… sweetness can exert a number of effects on appetite. With the development of artificial sweeteners however, sweetness and energy can be uncoupled. Uncoupling sweetness and energy, the consumption of artificial sweeteners may have profound effects on appetite and appetite control. Uncoupling …

IMPACT OF MEAL FREQUENCY ON APPETITE AND BLOOD MARKERS OF HEALTH IN OBESE WOMEN UTILIZING AN EQUI-HYPOCALORIC DIET DURING A BEHAVIORAL WEIGHT LOSS INTERVENTION
… with improvements in blood-markers of health and appetite control during weight loss; however, this has not been confirmed using portion-controlled meal products to reduce underreporting error. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine if increased MF can be a beneficial treatment …

Investigating mechanisms and biological functions of the bHLH/PAS transcription factors SIM1 and ARNT2
… hypothalamus and has a physiological role in appetite control during adulthood. Haploinsufficiency of Sim1 in mice results in increased weight gain due to hyperphagia and increased linear growth, and non-synonymous point mutants of SIM1 can be key drivers of obesity in humans. Several studies …

Working memory and food-related decision making
… and executive functions in particular, underpin controlled, goal-directed, decisions about food intake and choice. A considerable amount of research has been devoted to understanding the role of one executive function, inhibitory control, in appetite control. In addition, there has been interest …

Effects of exercise, with and without an associated energy deficit, on postprandial metabolism and appetite regulation
… have an important role in the management and control of cardiovascular disease and its associated risk factors. Acute exercise is one such intervention, successfully attenuating postprandial lipaemia and insulinaemia, enhancing endothelial function, reducing arterial stiffness and increasing …

Eating Frequency, Disease-Related Biomarkers and Appetite
… reducing the risk for disease and lowering appetite. Participants in this randomized crossover study completed two intervention phases lasting three weeks each: one of low eating frequency ("low-EF"; 3 eating occasions/day) and one of high eating frequency ("high-EF"; 8 eating …

Endocannabinoid regulation of gastric vagal afferent signalling
… vagal afferents (GVAs) play a role in peripheral appetite control. Tension sensitive GVAs respond to stretch or distension of the stomach sending signals to the hindbrain to produce feelings of fullness and satiety. The sensitivity of tension sensitive GVAs is reduced in diet-induced obesity which …

Dietary carbohydrates influence the structure and function of the intestinal alpha-glucosidases
… of the enzyme. In comparison to the control, the HMW SI was found to be more associated with lipid rafts at the membrane surface which was related to the higher apical sorting of these species. Thus, maltose sensing of small intestinal enterocytes triggers the intracellular processing …

Nature and nurture on picky eating behavior in early childhood
… between individual genetic variations related to appetite and picky eating behavior; 2) identify the association between the reported and observed parental feeding responsiveness with picky eating behavior; and 3) determine the interaction between cumulative genetic risk and parental feeding …

Mechanisms underlying monosaccharide stimulated incretin hormone secretion from the intestine
… pancreas and brain to improve blood glucose and appetite control. Due to the therapeutic benefits of GLP-1 signalling, understanding the factors that regulate its release are of continued interest. Gut hormones are produced by enteroendocrine cells (EECs) of the intestinal epithelium and are …

Neuromolecular basis of anomalous feeding behaviour in the valproate rat model of autism
… Importantly, very little is known about appetite control in these animals. The overall goal of the studies included in this thesis was to identify potential feeding behavioural anomalies and associated neuromolecular changes in the VPA rat model of ASD. We thus hypothesize that ASD is …

Identification of central circuitry components mediating anorexigenic properties of oxytocin
… that a neurohormone, oxytocin (OT), acts as an appetite suppressant. Importantly, OT decreases energy needs-driven consumption of high-calorie foods by promoting early satiation, and it terminates intake motivated by palatability related to sweet taste. OT’s anorexigenic effects on both aspects …
