Binge Eating (BE) episodes are characterized by
uncontrollable, distressing eating of a large amount of
highly palatable food (HPF). Considerable evidence
suggests that BE may be caused by a unique interaction
between dieting and stress. In our model BE for HPF is
evoked in rats by the combination of cyclic food
restrictions and stress. In order to investigate BE
behavior in female rats, for the first time, we analyzed
the metabolic profile obtained from biological fluids of
rats exposed or not to cycles of food restriction and a
stressful challenge through the High Resolution Nuclear
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy.
