“…During periods of self-reported high stress, individuals show an increase in total calories consumed, total fat, saturated fat, and percent of calories from fat (McCann et al, 1990) compared to their intake during self-reported low stress times. These findings hold true in both naturalistic (Crowther, Sanftner, Bonafazi, & Shepard, 2001) and laboratory (Zellner et al, 2006) settings. Sweet and salty foods, as well as foods high in both fat and calories, are among the food types often preferred by binge eaters (Marcus, Wing, & Hopkins, 1988).…”

“…We also found that perceived time influenced participants' perceived hunger, which is highly related to sugar consumption (22). Stress levels can also be affected by perceived hunger (23), so future studies should address potential mediating effects of hunger-related hormones (e.g., ghrelin, peptide tyrosine-tyrosine) on the relation between perceived time and BGLs.…”

The current study investigates whether perceived time has an effect on blood glucose level in people with type 2 diabetes. The hypothesis is that perceived time will have a greater influence over blood glucose level than actual time. Changes in blood glucose levels were measured in 46 participants with diabetes while they completed simple tasks during a 90-min period. Participants' perception of time was manipulated by having them refer to clocks that were either accurate or altered to run fast or slow. Blood glucose levels changed in accordance with how much time they believed had passed instead of how much time had actually passed. These results are an example of the influence psychological processes can directly exert on the body. T he relationship between expectations and physiological responses has received much attention in the study of the placebo effect (1, 2), a phenomenon producing physiological changes in the body without specific biological stimulation (3). For example, the expectation that an activity leads to a decrease in weight may result in an actual reduction of weight (4), and perceptions also change physiological responses to food consumption (5). Similarly, study participants role-playing air force pilots, a group expected to have excellent vision, had better vision than control participants (6). Despite a broad range of data describing the influence of mental states over the body, the role of psychological processes, especially when dealing with chronic health conditions, has been frequently underestimated. The connection between mind and body has received particularly limited attention in the study of metabolic disorders, such as diabetes.Type 2 diabetes, the most common form of diabetes, is a chronic disease that affects millions (7). Its symptoms include periodic rises in blood glucose levels (BGLs) because the body produces insufficient insulin and/or resists the effects of insulin, leading to short-term severe shock and multiple long-term complications including strokes, neuropathies, kidney disease, and vision problems (8). Genetic factors appear to be a strong biological trigger (9), and obesity seems to be a powerful environmental trigger (10).Although recognized as relevant psychosocial elements in diabetes management, few psychological factors have been studied for the effect they can exert on diabetic physiology. The majority of studies concerning psychological issues and diabetes have focused on depression, a serious comorbid condition (11), or on the negative effect of distress on disease management (12). Apart from studies on depression and distress, limited efforts have been made to investigate the effect of psychological variables on blood sugar regulation. No studies to our knowledge have investigated the potential for psychological mechanisms to directly influence BGLs.Glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes follow a particular time course, but how is the course determined? Current models suggest it is determined solely by physiological factors (13). There is, howeve...

“…Indeed, dieting periods are common in the histories of binge eaters, although hunger itself does not appear to be enough to induce BE in the absence of stress and negative affective state (Polivy et al, 1994;Waters et al, 2001). Considerable evidence suggests that BE may be caused by a unique interaction between dieting and stress; thus, environmental stress and a history of cyclic food restrictions may be responsible for its precipitation and maintenance (Stice et al, 2001;Crowther et al, 2001;Wolff et al, 2000). Accordingly, recurring food restrictions are consistently the strongest predictor of overeating in response to stress (Wardle et al, 2000).…”

Orexins (OX) and their receptors (OXR) modulate feeding, arousal, stress, and drug abuse. Neural systems that motivate and reinforce drug abuse may also underlie compulsive food seeking and intake. Therefore, the effects of GSK1059865, a dual OX 1 /OX 2 R antagonist were evaluated in a binge eating (BE) model in female rats. BE of highly palatable food (HPF) was evoked by three cycles of food restriction followed by stress, elicited by exposing rats to HPF, but preventing them from having access to it for 15 min. Pharmacokinetic assessments of all compounds were obtained under the same experimental conditions used for the behavioral experiments. Topiramate was used as the reference compound as it selectively blocks BE in rats and humans. Dose-related thresholds for sleep-inducing effects of the OXR antagonists were measured using polysomnography in parallel experiments. SB-649868 and GSK1059865, but not JNJ-10397049, selectively reduced BE for HPF without affecting standard food pellet intake, at doses that did not induce sleep. These results indicate, for the first time, a major role of OX 1 R mechanisms in BE, suggesting that selective antagonism at OX 1 R could represent a novel pharmacological treatment for BE and possibly other eating disorders with a compulsive component.
