Genetic Risk Factor for Binge Eating Discovered

A new study has identified a gene that appears to be associated with binge eating.

To make this discovery, scientists first used transgenic fat-1 mice, which express high endogenous omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the brain, to investigate the effect of omega-3 PUFAs on the clearance function of the glymphatic system.
