Abstract
|
|
|
Oxytocin is a neuropeptide involved in the homeostasis of food consumption and energy; it affects hedonic eating. Studies in obese or binge-eating patients reported the hypophagic effect of oxytocin, which reduced caloric intake after administration. Several studies have demonstrated the effect of oxytocin¡¯s increasing energy intake, decreasing food consumption, and contributing to weight loss. Oxytocin¡¯s effects on food intake and metabolism suggest its therapeutic potential for treating obesity and binge eating.
