Any explanation of appetite control should contain a description of physiological processes
that could contribute a drive to eat alongside those that inhibit eating. However, such an …

Many breast cancer survivors (BCS) gain fat mass and lose fat-free mass during treatment
(chemotherapy, radiation, surgery) and estrogen suppression therapy, which increases the …

Purpose When examining the underlying processes of obesity, evaluation of gut flora and
energy homeostasis can be crucial since disruption of the normal gut microbiota community …

Background Recent work has challenged the long-held assumption that appetite functions to
maintain stable body mass and fat mass (FM), suggesting instead that appetite matches food …

Background Up to 30% of community-based older adults report reduced appetite and
energy intake (EI), but previous research examining the underlying physiological …

Background Consistent findings have reported that FFM is associated with EI. However,
conjoint assessments of physiologic (body composition, fasting serum leptin) and behavioral …

Our female rat model with continuous, ad libitum access to snacks and chow from weaning
to adulthood closely mimics human feeding behavior from childhood onwards. It causes …

These recent findings suggest that fat-free mass and resting metabolic rate are determinants
of energy intake. Consideration of fat-free mass and energy expenditure as physiological …

Exercise is generally encouraged for its physical and mental health benefits (Catalan-
Matamoros et al., 2016; Penedo & Dahn, 2005). However, among those with eating …

Knowledge of the factors influencing food intake is crucial to form an understanding of
energy balance and obesity. Classical physiological feedback models propose that eating …
