Argument for a non-linear relationship between severity of human obesity and dopaminergic tone.

October 2015 Obes Rev

Synopsis of Social media discussions

The analysis reflects a balance of curiosity and skepticism in the social discussions, with posts mentioning dieting approaches like keto and linking them to cravings, alongside references to neurobiological factors and research corrections. Words like 'proof,' 'implications,' and mentions of specific studies reveal a moderate level of engagement and interest, while the tone remains somewhat cautious about fundamental claims made in the publication.

Agreement

Neither agree nor disagree

The discussions show mixed opinions; some posts support the idea that diet and neurobiology are linked to obesity, while others are cautious or neutral.

Interest

Moderate level of interest

Posts demonstrate moderate interest by focusing on diet impacts and neurochemical aspects, but not all delve deeply into the scientific details.

Engagement

Moderate level of engagement

Discussions include sharing personal experiences with dieting and referencing specific studies, indicating some level of active engagement.

Impact

Neutral impact

The conversations touch on implications for dieting strategies and understanding obesity, but overall influence on broader scientific or policy debates appears limited.

The Impact of Dopamine on Obesity and Belly Fat Accumulation

Confirmed by MRI, this study explores how changes in dopamine systems are linked to obesity and belly fat, proposing a non-linear relationship that explains conflicting research findings and behavior patterns related to food reward and decision-making.

Even though the main results in our 2014 paper were relatively unaffected, correcting the software error affected the ROI results and may have implications for theories about D2BP and obesity such as what is described here: https://t.co/K43MA9xTxg

Abstract Synopsis

The text discusses how changes in dopamine systems are linked to obesity in both animals and humans, but the exact nature of this relationship is unclear and has shown mixed results in studies.
It proposes a new model suggesting a nonlinear, quadratic relationship between dopamine function and obesity, driven by shifts in overall dopaminergic tone and phasic signaling, which could explain the conflicting findings.
The model helps to understand various obesity-related behaviors, such as altered food reward responses, decision-making differences, and cognitive performance, by integrating molecular and behavioral data into a unified framework.
