Social Modeling of Virtual Healthy Food Intake

People tend to adapt the amount of their food intake to that of others around them.This so-called social modeling of eating has been extensively studied over the past decades.The current study complements these experiments and aims to investigate social modeling of healthy food intake using a video paradigm in which a virtual model consumed either

Prenatal exposure to dietary fat induces changes in the transcriptional factors, TEF and YAP, which may stimulate differentiation of peptide neurons in rat hypothalamus.

Gestational exposure to a high-fat diet (HFD) stimulates the differentiation of orexigenic peptide-expressing neurons in the hypothalamus of offspring.To examine possible mechanisms that mediate this phenomenon, this study investigated the transcriptional factor, transcription enhancer factor-1 (TEF), and co-activator, Yes-associated protein (YAP),
