Grant Activity:
A neural metabolic memory of diet restriction influences rebound weight gain
Purpose:
The overconsumption of high calorie foods in today’s society is a primary reason for the obesity epidemic. In this proposal we argue that periods of repetitive hunger program a metabolic memory of food shortage, which exacerbates feeding responses, motivation and food reward, especially high energy foods. A strong metabolic memory of food shortage may precipitate compulsive overeating, which is a major cause of obesity in today’s society.
