Integration of Homeostatic and Hedonic Brain Centers in the Regulation of Feeding Behaviors
… namely pathological overconsumption of high-fat food. Pathological overconsumption of high-fat food is potentiated by aberrant homeostatic feeding behavior (i.e. titration of caloric intake), which typically associates with hypothalamic brain nuclei, specifically the paraventricular …

Effects of a time-restricted high- or low-fat diet on lipid absorption
Background: Chronic high-fat diets and time-restricted feeding have been shown to impact multiple cardiometabolic parameters. The purpose of this work was to investigate the effects of timed macronutrient intake on lipid absorption. Methods: Adult male FVB/N mice were randomly assigned to one of 6 …

Strategies to Identify Therapeutic Opportunities in the Treatment of Addictive Disorders
… current work demonstrates an association between high fat food binge intake and cue reactivity, both of which are modulated by insula activity. Further, the clinically-approved serotonin (5-HT) 5-HT2A receptor (5-HT2AR) antagonist/inverse agonist pimavanserin and 5-HT2CR agonist lorcaserin used …

INVESTIGATING SEX DIFFERENCES IN THE TRANS-SYNAPTIC REGULATORS OF MESOLIMBIC DRIVEN PALATABLE FOOD INTAKE
Food intake is a coordination of elaborate sensory and motor actions that are influenced by multiple internal and external determinants but when dysregulated can result in feeding pathology. The overconsumption of highly palatable food is an important component of obesity, binge-eating disorder, …

A Behavioral Health Intervention for Decreasing Weight Gain in First Year University Students
… activity; male gender was associated with higher high fat food intake; and baseline waist circumference positively predicted BMI. Contrary to expectations, positive outcomes were not found with the interventions evaluated. This may have been due to a low number of health coaching contacts …

Mechanisms Involved in Human Thermogenesis
… is associated with an increase in consumption of high fat food. Cooling is known to be neuroprotective in acute brain injury, and recent published data suggests a protective effect in chronic neurodegenerative conditions by improvements in synaptic plasticity. We have demonstrated an improvement …
