DSNT Le, N Pannacciulli, K Chen, A Del Parigi… - The American journal of …, 2006 - Elsevier
Background: In an exploratory positron emission tomography study of postprandial regional
cerebral blood flow, which is a marker of neuronal activity, obese men differed from lean
men in several brain regions, including the prefrontal cortex. The subjects received a meal
proportional to their body size; therefore, the meal volume was different for each person.
Objective: We investigated whether differences in the brain responses of obese and lean
men to a meal represent satiety or feelings of gastric distension. Design: We studied 9 lean …
