Binge eating in humans is driven by hedonic properties of food, suggesting that brain reward
systems may contribute to this behaviour. We examined the role of mu opioid receptors …

Background: Preference for fatty foods is a risk factor for obesity. It is a complex behaviour
that involves the brain reward system and is regulated by genetic and environmental factors …

Endocannabinoids and opiates have regulatory role in some physiological functions in
mammals but their interaction (s) have not been studied in avian. This survey is designed to …

Motivation is a complex neurobiological process that initiates, directs, and maintains goal-
oriented behavior. Although distinct components of motivated behavior are difficult to …

In our prior studies, administration of the opioid receptor antagonist naltrexone did not block
conditioned preferences for a flavor paired with a preferred sugar solution over a flavor …

Sugar and fat appetites are influenced by unlearned and learned responses to orosensory
and post-ingestive properties which are mediated by dopamine (DA) and opioid transmitter …

Opioidergic and serotonergic (5-HTergic) systems have crucial role in central regulation of
food intake. This study was designed to investigate the role of the opioidergic system and …

The dynorphin (DYN) peptide family includes opioid and non-opioid peptides, yet the
physiological role of the non-opioid DYN peptides remains poorly understood. Recent …

Background and Objective: Bulimia nervosa, is an eating disorder characterized by
excessive influence of weight and body shape on the levels of self-esteem, with pervasive …

Background The consumption of dietary salt (NaCl) is controlled by neuronal pathways that
are modulated by endogenous opioid signalling. The latter is disrupted by chronic use of …
