项目摘要
Project Summary
The majority of people report eating highly palatable, calorically-dense ‘comfort’ foods as a means of stress
relief. Indeed, individuals with a history of eating palatable foods have improved mood and reduced
physiological and emotional responses to stress. However, comfort feeding comes at a significant cost to
metabolic health, as stress-related eaters have higher BMIs and have more difficulty losing weight. Despite
clear evidence that comfort feeding is a primary cause of obesity for many people, we know very little about
why this is the case. This proposal addresses two critical gaps in our knowledge. First, it determines the
mechanisms by which comfort feeding gives stress relief in normal weight individuals. Second, it identifies the
extent that this stress relief is impaired during diet-induced obesity (DIO). This has important health
implications, as it suggests a vicious cycle whereby obese individuals continually increase their consumption of
palatable foods to maintain effective stress relief at the cost of worsening metabolic health. We propose to
study these relationships using a palatable ‘snacking’ paradigm in which rats are given twice-daily access to a
small amount of palatable sucrose solution, or water as a control. Rats given this limited sucrose intake (LSI)
paradigm reduce their chow intake to compensate for the calories in the sucrose and maintain normal body
weight, allowing us to isolate the mechanisms by which LSI reduces stress responses in normal weight
individuals. Indeed, LSI rats have attenuated neuroendocrine (HPA axis), behavioral, and metabolic (energy
mobilization) responses to a stress challenge. Moreover, LSI is unable to provide stress-blunting in DIO rats,
suggesting that obesity may increase the amount of palatable food needed to obtain stress relief. The LSI
paradigm therefore provides the unique opportunity to determine the mechanism underlying effective stress
relief in normal weight rodents, how these mechanisms are disrupted by DIO, and whether DIO escalates
sucrose intake thereby restoring effective stress relief at the cost of worsening metabolic health. Furthermore,
our prior work implicates forebrain regions (BLA, mPFC) as key sites for LSI stress relief, though the
neurocircuit mechanism that mediates this stress-blunting is not known. Our new preliminary data point to
endocannabinoids (eCB; endogenous marijuana-like molecules) acting within this circuit as this mechanism.
For instance, restraint stress rapidly increases BLA eCB (anandamide) content in LSI rats, but not water
controls, and eCB signaling in the BLA is known to blunt stress responses. Systemic cannabinoid receptor type
1 antagonism also prevents LSI stress relief. This proposal therefore addresses the hypothesis that palatable
foods curb stress responses by altering forebrain circuit function via eCB signaling during stress. The proposed
experiments determine the contribution of PL-BLA projections and forebrain eCB-signaling to LSI stress relief.
Experiments also test the extent to which DIO interferes with forebrain eCB signaling after LSI, as well as the
ability of escalated sucrose consumption to recover forebrain eCB signaling and stress-blunting during DIO.
项目摘要
大多数人报告饮食高度可口,热浓密的“舒适”食品作为压力的手段
宽慰。实际上,有饮食可口食品史的人有改善的情绪并减少了

代谢健康,由于与压力相关的食客的BMI较高,并且减肥更加困难。尽管
明确的证据表明,舒适喂养是许多人肥胖的主要原因,我们对

舒适喂养的机制可以减轻正常体重个体的压力。其次,它标识了
在饮食引起的肥胖症(DIO)期间,这种缓解压力的缓解程度受到损害。这具有重要的健康
含义,这表明了一个恶性循环,肥胖的人不断增加他们的消费
可口的食物,以保持有效的压力缓解,以担心代谢健康。我们建议
使用可口的“零食”范式研究这些关系,其中每天两次获得大鼠
