Researchers from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra , Barcelona , Spain , used the Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS 2.0) to diagnose food addiction in mice and humans.
Findings show how bacteria in the gut influence brain function and vice versa.
Potential new treatments could involve using beneficial bacteria and dietary supplementation.
Inhibiting another miRNA called miRNA-665-3p promoted compulsive behaviour and vulnerability to food addiction.
This helps us to understand the neurobiology of the loss of eating control, which plays a crucial role in obesity and related disorders.
This understanding opens the way to developing potential new treatments for eating disorders.
