          Opioid Dysregulation in the Brain Tied to Eating Disorders

          Elevated opioid neurotransmission in the brain may underlie appetite loss and emotional symptoms in anorexia nervosa. Compared to healthy controls, patients with anorexia had increased opioidergic tone, which regulates appetite, pleasure, and mood.

          New Appetite Regulating Neurons Discovered

          Researchers have identified a previously unknown population of neurons in the hypothalamus that play a critical role in regulating appetite. These neurons express both leptin receptors and the BNC2 gene, making them highly responsive to hunger-suppressing signals and food-related sensory cues.

          Natural Compound BHB-Phe Regulates Appetite

          Scientists have identified BHB-Phe, a natural compound produced by the body, that regulates appetite and body weight. By activating specific brain neurons, BHB-Phe suppresses feeding behavior in mice, suggesting potential therapeutic applications for obesity.

          Fat Alone Doesn’t Disrupt Brain’s Appetite Neurons

          A new study reveals that a high-fat diet alone does not appear to be responsible for changes in brain neurons that regulate appetite and energy balance. Researchers found no immediate effect on neurons in the hypothalamus of mice fed a high-fat, low-sugar diet, suggesting that other nutrients like sugar may play a more significant role in altering brain function.

          UV Light Increases Appetite But Suppresses Weight Gain

          A new study reveals that UV exposure can increase appetite while simultaneously preventing weight gain. This unexpected finding is attributed to UV's influence on hormones and neurotransmitters, leading to increased energy expenditure and the browning of subcutaneous fat. These insights could pave the way for innovative approaches to combat obesity and metabolic disorders.

          Brain Circuit for Nausea-Induced Appetite Loss Discovered

          Researchers identified a brain circuit that curbs eating behavior in mice when they feel nauseous. The study, focusing on the amygdala, discovered specific nerve cells activated by nausea that suppress appetite, distinct from those activated by satiety.

          Researchers uncovered how cannabis triggers appetite in the brain. Using calcium imaging technology to observe brain cells in mice exposed to vaporized cannabis sativa, the team discovered that cannabis activates specific cells in the hypothalamus associated with the anticipation and consumption of food.

          Viewing Food Images Multiple Times Curbs Appetite

          Viewing images of the same food item multiple times can lead to a feeling of fullness. The study found that when participants viewed the same food picture 30 times, they subsequently chose smaller portion sizes compared to those who saw the image just three times.

          Watching Others Indulge in Junk Food Can Curb Your Appetite and Aid in Weight Loss

          Studies show that advertisements showing people eating junk food can actually prompt those on a diet to eat less. The research found that the mere sight of someone eating junk food is enough to put dieters off it. This is because mental imagery, including that of food consumption, can activate similar neural networks to those linked with actual performance or experience. The findings suggest that healthy eating campaigns should include and portray the consumption of unhealthy food, as dieters consciously associate it with a failure to reach their weight loss goals.

          New Pill Regulates Appetite by Modulating Ghrelin Release

          A new pill, called FLASH, has been developed to regulate appetite without drugs or invasive procedures. Researchers designed the pill to deliver electrical impulses to the stomach lining, modulating hunger-related gut hormones. The pill has been shown to affect the release of appetite hormone ghrelin in pig trials. FLASH could potentially treat various disorders related to metabolism and eating without pharmaceuticals or surgery. The researchers are now conducting additional preclinical testing and aim to start human trials within five years.
