Chronic consumption of cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon) for 12 weeks improves episodic memory and regional brain perfusion in healthy older adults: A randomised, placebo-controlled, parallel-groups feasibility study

The objective of this 2016 rat-based study was to determine the impact of a high-fat diet (HFD) on the level of gamma-Aminobutyric acid [(GABA) neurotransmitter that supposedly plays a key role in the regulation of food intake and body weight] in the frontal cortex (FC) and hippocampus of rats. It is proposed that GABA controls […]

Chronic stress encourages the consumption of palatable foods and can accelerate obesity. Although mechanisms that affect stress and feeding have been found, it is still unclear how stress-induced feeding is managed. Since the absence of Npy1r in these neurons reduces the obesifying effects of a combination of stress and a high-fat diet (HFDS) in mice, […]
