Ever think... gee, I wonder whether brain dopamine is related to adiposity in humans??

Well, have WE got an answer for YOU in our new @medRxivpreprint from @kevinh_phd’s lab @NIDDKgov!

Here's 5 yrs of work in 10 posts!

A calorie is NOT a calorie when it comes to brain dopamine! Restricting dietary fat, but not carbohydrate, likely increases tonic dopamine in brain reward regions and may shift ad lib food choices towards those high in both fat and carbs and may possibly hamper diet adherence.

Excited to share a pre-print of our new paper led by @vdarcey that we just submitted for peer review entitled "Restriction of dietary fat, but not carbohydrate, alters brain reward circuitry in adults with obesity" https://t.co/l4h1kRQeOw

Who's ready for a full month of science #SfN21?!
Check out my work "Dietary fat, but not obesity, significantly affects brain reward activity to visual food cues " on demand-- even better-- tune into our live integrative phys discussion on Functional Neuroimaging 11/10 2-3CST 🧠

Congrats again to @vdarcey from my lab @NIDDKgov for winning the @IRPatNIH three minute talk competition with her presentation "Did dopamine derail your diet?" https://t.co/ULiiGOfqFA

Very excited to share the results of our lab’s recent dietary intervention looking at the effects of a animal-based, ketogenic diet compared to a plant-based, low fat diet— check it out in @NatureMedicine for the details!

[Kevin Hall @KevinH_PhD]

Here's a link to our latest study in @NatureMedicine: https://t.co/vA7Cuk1jzq

[NIDDK @NIDDKgov]

A low-fat, plant-based diet resulted in 550-700 less daily calorie intake (but higher insulin and blood sugar levels) vs. a low-carb, animal-based diet, in new #NIH study led by NIDDK’s @KevinH_PhD https://t.co/7EAJSMCSy0

And by 1/6 I actually meant next Tuesday, 1/12!!!

Interested in how a specific weight-loss diet can induce changes in brain activity? Check on my #SfNConnectome21 poster “Restriction of dietary fat, but not carbohydrate, dampens straital response..” on 1/6 about our work with @vdarcey in @KevinH_PhD’s lab! @SfNtweets

Interested in neuroimaging & dopamine systems? Check out my #SfNConnectome21 @SfNtweets poster next week, "A tale of two tracers: [11C]Raclopride and [18F]Fallypride produce related estimates of dopamine receptor BP..." about our work with @vdarcey in @KevinH_PhD 's lab!
