Subjective and physiological cephalic phase responses to food in obese binge-eating women

Article Abstract:

Ten obese nonbinge-eating and 11 obese binge-eating women were used to examine subjective and physiological cephalic phase reactivity to food. The cephalic phase response test measured serum insulin, free fatty acids, plasma glucose concentrations, salivation, feeling of hunger and desire to eat. The binge eaters reported more desire to eat than did the nonbinge eaters. The amount of food eaten after food exposure was similar for both groups. Results imply that binge-eating women are characterized by stronger subjective but not stronger physiological cephalic phase reactivity to food.
