          A Possible Neural Link Between Early Life Trauma and Binge-Eating Disorder Discovered

          8 in 10 sufferers of binge eating disorders experienced trauma during childhood. Researchers discovered leptin is less effective in the lateral hypothalamus of those who suffered childhood trauma.

          Could Our Brain Instruct Our Bodies to Burn More Fat?

          New research provides additional insight into how the brain regulates body fat and could help provide more effective methods of weight loss.

          Destructive Mechanism That Blocks the Brain from Knowing When to Stop Eating Identified

          Researchers report mice fed a high fat diet produce an enzyme called MMP-2, which results in leptin being blocked from binding to its receptors. This, they report, prevents neurons from signaling that the stomach is full. The study suggests blocking MMP-2 may help people with obesity to lose weight.

          Don’t overdo omega-6 fat consumption during pregnancy

          Consuming too much omega 6 during pregnancy has been linked to an increased risk of neurodevelopmental issues in babies and pregnancy complications. In mice who had higher levels of linoleic acid in their diets, researchers noted altered concentrations of inflammatory proteins and a decrease in hormones that regulate fetal growth and development. Researchers stress the effects of a high linoleic acid concentration in diet are the same for both animal models and humans.

          Exercise Makes Female Rats Hungrier and Sustains Weight Gain

          Study in rats reveals sex differences may play a key role in the effectiveness of exercise as an appetite regulator. Exercising female rats ate more than those who did not partake in physical activity. The same effect was not seen in males.

          Gut-Brain Connection Signals Behavioral Alterations While Eating: Worm Study

          Researchers have identified neurons in the guts of C. elegans that detect when bacteria are ingested and release a neurotransmitter that signals the brain to halt locomotion.
