Objective To test the hypothesis that experience with food restriction produces persistent binge eating. The Minnesota semistarvation experiment and studies of prisoners-of-war show chronic dramatic changes in eating behavior (including eating) endure decades after has ceased. Bulimia nervosa patients who restrict also binge. Restriction may be a risk factor etiology bulimia. Method: Animals were subjected to four different patterns 12-week restriction-refeeding cycles. rats either...
Summary: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate methanesulfonyl fluoride (MSF), a very long-acting CNS-selective acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor, as palliative treatment for senile dementia Alzheimer type (SDAT). In experiment I, MSF (0.03-0.18 mg/ kg) administered orally 10 normal volunteers measure toxicity and establish dose/ response function in erythrocyte AChE. produced dose-response % inhibition=(40)(Logl0[MSF kg] + 51.7) with no at these doses. Experiment II 16-week...
Several lines of evidence substantiate the important role central nervous system melanocortin 3- and 4-receptor (MC3/4-R) in control food intake energy balance. Agouti-related peptide (AgRP), an endogenous antagonist these receptors, produces a robust unique pattern increased that lasts up to 7 days after single injection. Little is known about brain regions may mediate this powerful effect AgRP on intake. To end we compared c-Fos-like immunoreactivity (c-FLI) several sites rats injected...
Leptin (OB protein) is an important signal in the regulation of energy balance.Leptin levels correlate with adiposity, but also decrease acutely caloric restriction and increase refeeding.The brain established critical site leptin function, yet little known about concentrations central nervous system relative to plasma levels, psychiatric diagnoses, other endocrine parameters.Therefore, using a novel ultrasensitive assay, we explored relationships human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) body mass...
Binge eating is a consequence of semistarvation in victims war and famine volunteers rare experiments. These behaviors include bizarre mixing ingredients adulteration food; inappropriate, soiled, or discarded secrecy; deception; defensiveness. Drastic measures to resist overeating persist long after the experience, even when food plentiful. eating, central feature bulimia sometimes anorexia nervosa, prevalent modern society, but occurrence frequency semistarvation-related have not been well...

Commensurate with the last decades increasing prevalence of obesity is number breakthroughs in physiology energy regulation. Primary these role played by CNS melanocortin 3 and 4 receptors (MC3 / 4R). The MC3 ligand, alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone, a primary anti-obesity target due to its anorectic catabolic actions. A level complexity introduced agouti related peptide, an endogenous antagonist at 4R that exerts orexigenic anabolic functions. Here we evidence utility MC system treat...
