Polymorphisms of the oxytocin receptor gene and overeating: the intermediary role of endophenotypic risk factors.

Nutrition & diabetes - 22 May 2017

Davis C, Patte K, Zai C, Kennedy J L

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Oxytocin (OXT) is an evolutionarily ancient neuropeptide with strong links to affiliative and prosocial behaviors, and the management of stress. Increases in OXT also tend to decrease food intake, especially of sweet carbohydrates. The social correlates of low OXT levels mesh with the social deficits and stress proneness identified in interpersonal models of overeating, as well as the...
