Effects of Acute Vaping Abstinence on Hyper-palatable Food Reinforcement and Intake
… people tend to increase consumption of hyper-palatable foods (HPF) following cessation of combustible tobacco use (i.e., smoking). Although conceptually relevant, it is unclear how cessation of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) may affect HPF intake. Cessation- related increases in …

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, …

Intra-nacc adenosine and its role in mediating palatable food intake: interactions with striatal opioids
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Striatal adenosine is believed to have a significant modulatory role over a variety of striatal circuitry and associated psychomotor and feeding behaviors. However, it is currently unknown to what extent striatal adenosine …

Effects of chemogenetic inhibition of dopamine transporter- or A2A-expressing neurons on spontaneous activity and motivation to consume a palatable food reward
… activity plays a major role in motivation for a palatable reward, but does implicate A2A-expressing neurons in both motor and motivational phenotypes.</p>

The effects of prior exposure to amphetamine on feeding behavior in rats
… and free feeding of regular chow or palatable cereal. After treatment with 5 injections of either d-amphetamine (3 mg/kg IP) or saline, administered on alternate days, animals in Experiments 1 and 3 were permanently moved to computer-controlled test cages, whereas animals in …

The neurobiological bases of compulsive eating
… choice behavior on binge-like eating of palatable food; however, impulsive action predicted higher binge-like eating, higher motivation for palatable food, and increased compulsive-eating behavior. Therefore, impulsive action, but not impulsive choice, predicted the development of binge- …

Anorexigenic effects of naltrexone in rats
The accessibility of cheap, palatable, and caloric food in the industrialized world has shifted the primary drive of eating behavior from hunger to pleasure; this change has played a significant role in the rise in the prevalence of obesity. Sugary and fatty foods are among the most preferred and, …

The influence of satiety mediators and dietary intake on food addiction in obese women prior to sleeve gastrectomy: a pilot study
Food addiction (FA) can hinder the perceived value of food reward resulting in overconsumption of highly palatable food. The purpose of this study was to identify the impact of fasting leptin and ghrelin and dietary intake on FA in obese women before vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG). Seventeen …

The Influence of Sustained CB1 Blockade During Adolescence on Breakpoints in a Progressive-ratio Paradigm
… adolescence and allowed unrestricted access to food. Control groups were treated with vehicle during the same developmental period and allowed either unrestricted access to food or were pair-fed with a member of the SR-treated group. Motivation to work for food was measured in progressive-ratio …

The effects of leptin on placental development and function, and offspring behavior in mice
… Female offspring from these dams consumed more food and had reduced preference for palatable food compared to their controls. Maternal hyperleptinemia during pregnancy protected offspring from weight gain by increasing activity. Overall, leptin affects placental gene expression, and possibly …

A Systematic Investigation of Whether Cannabinoids and Opioids Interact in the Nucleus Accumbens Shell to Differentially Impact Feeding Patterns on a Palatable Diet
… the nucleus accumbens shell, on consumption of a palatable food by determining whether blockade of CB1 receptors modulated mu-opioid stimulated feeding, and whether blockade of mu-opioid receptors impacted CB1 stimulated feeding. Additionally, these experiments sought to investigate whether …

Thylakoid membranes from green plants affect appetite and promote body weight loss
… gain, regulation of appetite and a controlled food intake is of greatest importance. Simply put, body weight is regulated by the amount of energy ingested, and the amount of energy expended. In todays sedentary lifestyle, we tend to have a much higher food intake than the amount of energy used …

The Nosological Status of Loss of Control over Eating in Children
… Another obesogenic appetitive trait, high food reinforcement, is characterized by a strong drive to obtain palatable food. LOC and high food reinforcement both predict increased energy intake and excessive weight gain, although the association between LOC and high food reinforcement has not …

Acute Psychological Stress and Food Intake in Humans: A Scoping Review
… or no change in the homeostatic mechanisms of food intake (e.g., appetite, appetite hormones, food intake). However, homeostatic control can be overridden by hedonic (or pleasure-inducing) mechanisms. Stress can increase cravings of unhealthy palatable food causing alterations in food …

Neuropharmacological Mechanisms Underlying Incentive Salience and Stress
… in mediating conditioned approach behavior for food reward, and established that stress exposure blunts NAc DA response to palatable food and reduces incentive salience for the reward, as defined by increased latency to approach. Pretreatment with the mixed action opioid drug buprenorphine …

Thylakoid membrane from spinach - effect of processing on their function as appetite suppressing ingredient
Western diet contains a high proportion of palatable food, rich in refined carbohydrates and fat, that subsequently increases the risk of overconsumption and possibly leads to overweight and obesity. Therefore an approach to strengthen the inherent satiety for fat can be used to prevent …

Oxytocin as a pharmacological tool to curb overeating: Exploring synergy with opioid receptor blockade
… (adjusts consumption to the 'pleasantness' of food, regardless of actual energy needs). Though each of the many feeding-related neural systems affects the select facets of appetite to a different degree, most basic research (and subsequently, also clinical) studies exploring anorexigenic …

Understanding affective response to food using facial electromyography: a preliminary look at individual differences
Understanding consumer responses to food can aid the success of newly developed food products. Consumer responses can take many forms, with traditional consumer affective testing typically capturing self-reported hedonic liking of food products. Research has highlighted the importance of …
