Are dopaminergic genotypes risk factors for eating behavior and obesity in adults?

Neuroscience letters - 27 Jul 2017

Avsar Orcun, Kuskucu Aysegul, Sancak Seda, Genc Ece

Abstract excerpt

Dopamine (DA) is the main modulator of the brain reward system and significantly regulates food intake. The idea that obesity is a neurobiological disease rather than a metabolic disorder, is the basis of the study. Changes in dopamine neurotransmission affect the brain reward system in a direct way. Furthermore, changes in the reward system influence the eating behavior in human. The enzymes monoamine oxidase A...
