Appetite Hormones in Binge Eating Disorder
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Postprandial responses, Cold pressor test, and 1 other intervention for Binge Eating Disorder. Completed, enrolled 96 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study investigates the hormones that the body produces in response to food intake and in response to stress, and the way that stress influences food intake. In particular, it compares the hormone levels and food intake of people with and without binge eating disorder. In order to find out how these appetite- and stress-related hormones are linked to brain activity, the study also includes an fMRI scan, a non-invasive procedure that looks at which regions of the brain are most active during a food-related scenario.
