Limited access to a dietary fat option affects ingestive behavior but not body composition in male ratsR L Corwin

Nutritional Sciences Department, College of Health and Human Development, The Pennsylvania State University, USA
Curr Drug Abuse Rev 4:174-81. 2011..quot;Food addiction" may not be "addiction" to food at all; it may be a response to uncertainty within environments of food abundance...
Feeding and reward: perspectives from three rat models of binge eatingRebecca L Corwin
Nutritional Sciences Dept, College of Health and Human Development, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, United States
Physiol Behav 104:87-97. 2011..These findings may be important in understanding how overeating can influence behavior and brain chemistry...

Department of Nutritional Sciences, College of Health and Human Development, The Pennsylvania State University, Chandlee Laboratory University Park, Pennsylvania 16802, USA
Behav Pharmacol 20:537-48. 2009..SCH 23390 reduced intake in a nonspecific manner. The results indicate the involvement of GABAB receptors in fat but not sucrose intake, and of D2 receptor dysfunction in rats with a history of bingeing on fat...
Symposium overview--Food addiction: fact or fiction?Rebecca L Corwin
The Pennsylvania State University, Nutritional Sciences Department, University Park, PA 16802, USA
J Nutr 139:617-9. 2009..The topic of food addiction bears study, therefore, to develop fresh approaches to clinical intervention and to advance our understanding of basic mechanisms involved in loss of control...
Effects of enterostatin in non-food-deprived rats with limited or continuous access to oil or sucroseR L Corwin
Nutrition Department, College of Health and Human Development, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park 16802, USA
Physiol Behav 65:1-10. 1998..These results do not support a role for enterostatin in the regulation of fat intake when optional high-fat foods are provided in addition to a readily available standard diet...
Dietary saturated fat intake is inversely associated with bone density in humans: analysis of NHANES IIIRebecca L Corwin
Nutritional Sciences Department, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, USA
J Nutr 136:159-65. 2006..922 g/cm2, 0.909-0.935; lowest quintile: 0.963 g/cm2, 95% CI: 0.950-0.976). These data indicate that BMD is negatively associated with saturated fat intake, and that men may be particularly vulnerable to these effects...

Department of Nutritional Sciences, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania 16802, USA
Physiol Behav 95:501-7. 2008..These results indicate that the normal cyclic inhibitory influence of ovarian hormones on eating, but not their normal tonic inhibitory influence, is disrupted by conditions leading to binge-type eating...
