“…In addition, the fluctuations in plasma glucose levels that were observed in these two studies agree with literature showing that a period of intense cognitive processing leads to a measurable decrease in levels of blood glucose [49]. This fall in blood glucose has also been associated with feeling less energetic [50] whereas higher blood glucose levels that are within the normal range have been associated with lower self-reported tension and greater energy [51]. Accordingly, food intake might be perceived as a strategy for allowing the individual to recover optimal body functioning.…”

The population statistics of most countries of the world are indicating that industrialization and computerization have been associated with an increase in sedentariness and more recently with a significant shift from healthy weight to overweight. In general, this change in the overweight/obesity prevalence is attributed by health professionals to suboptimal diet and physical activity practices. However, recent data raised the possibility that excess weight gain might also be the outcome of changes imposed by our ‘24-hour’, hectic lifestyle. Parallel to an increase in body weight, one has observed a reduction in sleep time and an increase in knowledge-based work (KBW) that appear as a growing necessity in a context of economic competitiveness and globalization. Sleep and cognitive work both exert a trivial effect on energy expenditure and may thus be considered as sedentary activities. However, their respective effect on energy intake is opposite. Indeed, an increase in the practice of the most sedentary activity, i.e. sleep, is associated with a hormonal profile facilitating appetite control whereas KBW appears as a stimulus favoring a significant enhancing effect on food intake. Television viewing is another example of sedentary activity that has been shown to increase the intake of high-density foods. These observations demonstrate that the modern way of living has favored a change in human activities whose impact goes well beyond what has traditionally been attributed to a lack of physical exercise. Therefore, we will need to reconsider the notion of ‘sedentariness’ which includes several activities having opposing effects on energy balance.

“…Levels of arousal, alertness, contentedness and calmness were, however, not affected by drink administration. The anxiety reducing effect of the high glucose drink is in line with previous reports of sedating and tension relieving effects of carbohydrate administration compared to protein (Hartmann et al 1977;Spring et al 1989;Benton and Owens 1993). However, the failure to observe increases in alertness levels particularly following administration of the high caffeine drink is surprising taken previous reports of increased alertness following caffeine administration at doses similar to the one used in this study (e.g.…”

“…[76] Öte yandan karbonhidrattan zengin besinlerin tüketiminden 1-2 saat sonra öfke ve gerilim gibi duyguların yatıştığı ve yüksek kan şekeri düzeylerinin azalmış gerilimle ilişkili olduğu da bu konuda yapılan ilk araştırmalarda saptanmış-tır. [77] Wells ve arkadaşları 1 ay süre ile 10 kadın ve 10 erkek sağlıklı gönüllü ile yaptıkları bir deneyde yüksek oranda yağlı diyetten (%41) düşük oranda yağlı diyete (%25) geçildiğinde agresyon gibi olumsuz duygusal değişikliklerin ortaya çıktığını göstermişlerdir.

ÖZETYeme bağımlılığı kavramı bilimsel literatürde son yıllarda gündemde olan bir kavramdır. Özellikle obez ve aşırı yemek yiyen kişilerde yemenin bir tür bağımlılığa dönüşebildiği ileri sürülmekte ve bu kişilerde gözlenen davranışların bağımlılıkta sıklıkla gözlenen temel belirtilerle örtüşebildiği belirtilmektedir. Yapılan laboratuvar, epidemiyolojik, klinik ve genetik araştırmaların sonuçları yeme bağımlılığı modelinin klinik geçerliliğini kısmen gösterse de nörobiyolojik araştırmalar daha çok obezite ve madde bağımlılığında ödül sisteminde ortaya çıkan benzerlikleri ortaya koymaktadır. Araştırmaların bir bölümü ise halen belirgin farklılıkların olduğuna vurgu yapmaktadır. Bu derleme yazısında yeme bağımlılığı kavramının klinik ve biyolojik özellikleri etyolojik açıdan ele alınmış ve bu konuda yapılan ağırlıklı olarak preklinik, klinik ve genetik araştırmaların gözden geçirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Anahtar Sözcükler: Etiyoloji, yeme bağımlılığı, nörobiyoloji ABSTRACT Food addiction is a new topic of focus in the scientific literature. Food intake might be concerned as food addiction in some cases, especially in obese cases and over-eaters. Addiction like behaviours are commonly observed mong these people. Recent animal, epidemiological, clinical and genetic studies partly shows the clinical validity of food addiction while the neurobiological studies focused on the similarity between the reward systems present in obesity and drug addiction. However some studies still emphasizes the differences between two. The aim of this article was to review clinical and biological aspects of etiological perspectives of food addiction via available clinical, preclinical and genetic studies. Keywords: Etiology, food addiction, neurobiology eme bağımlılığı (food addiction), son yıllarda gündemde olan ve hakkındaki literatür giderek artan bir kavramdır. Özellikle obezitede ve aşırı yemek yiyen kişilerde yeme bağımlılığının olabileceği ileri sürül-Y
