Neural
Satiation in obese men produced significant increases in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in the prefrontal cortex compared to lean men.
Practitioners should consider the differences in brain responses to food intake between obese and lean individuals.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
However, rCBF increases in the prefrontal cortex were significantly greater in obese men than in lean men (P < 0.005).
Why this rating
The study uses a robust imaging technique (PET) with a clear comparison group.
