CRF system recruitment mediates dark side of compulsive eating
Open accessAbstract
Dieting to control body weight involves cycles of deprivation from palatable food that can promote compulsive eating. The present study shows that rats withdrawn from intermittent access to palatable food exhibit overeating of palatable food upon renewed access and an affective withdrawal-like state characterized by corticotropin-releasing factor-1 (CRF 1 ) receptor antagonist-reversible behaviors, including hypophagia, motivational deficits to obtain less palatable food, and anxiogenic-like behavior. Withdrawal was accompanied by increased CRF expression and CRF 1 electrophysiological responsiveness in the central nucleus of the amygdala. We propose that recruitment of anti-reward extrahypothalamic CRF-CRF 1 systems during withdrawal from palatable food, analogous to abstinence from abused drugs, may promote compulsive selection of palatable food, undereating of healthier alternatives, and a negative emotional state when intake of palatable food is prevented.

A background of ELA may potentiate food addiction behaviours in some individuals, especially within the context of an environment rich in highly processed, calorie dense and extremely palatable food.

Overindulgence of foods rich in fat and sugar has been shown to reduce CNS reward thresholds, resulting in a drive for higher intake of such palatable foods to achieve similar levels of satisfaction.

Exposure to high-fat diets, yo-yo dieting, and withdrawal from such diets may alter extrahypothalamic CRF pathways involved in stress regulation and disrupt brain reward motivation responses to increase compulsive food seeking and stress-induced highly palatable food seeking.
“exposure to high fats diets, yo–yo dieting and withdrawal from such diets, may alter extrahypothalamic CRF pathways involved in the regulation of stress responses and also disrupt brain reward motivation responses to increase compulsive food seeking and stress-induced HP food seeking”
From Role of addiction and stress neurobiology on food intake and obesity (2018) · cites this paper as Cottone et al., 2009
Overconsumption of highly palatable food reduces reward thresholds and upregulates extrahypothalamic CRF in the amygdala and related limbic striatal pathways, which may promote food craving and greater neural reactivity to food cues in these brain regions, increasing risk of overeating highly palatable foods.
“Overconsumption of HP food intake is also known to reduce reward thresholds along with an upregulation of the extrahypothalamic Corticotrophin Releasing Factor (CRF) in the amygdala and related limbic striatal pathways, which, in turn, may promote food craving and associated greater neural reactivity to food cues in these brain regions thereby increasing risk of overeating of HP foods”
From Role of addiction and stress neurobiology on food intake and obesity (2018) · cites this paper as Cottone et al., 2009
Increased drug taking and high-fat diets alter CRF, glucocorticoid, and noradrenergic activity to increase sensitization of reward pathways including the ventral tegmental area, nucleus accumbens, dorsal striatum, and medial prefrontal cortex, influencing preference for addictive substances and highly palatable foods and increasing drug or food craving and intake.
“Increased drug taking and high fat diets alter CRF, GC and noradrenergic activity to increase sensitization of reward pathways (including the ventral tegmental area [VTA], nucleus accumbens [NAc], dorsal striatum and the mPFC regions) which influences preference for addictive substances and HP foods and increases drug/food craving and intake”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
