Insights to the neural response to food cues in class III compared with class I and II obese adults using a sample of endometrial cancer survivors seeking weight loss

N. L. Nock, H. Jiang, et al.

This study reveals intriguing insights into the brain's response to food cues among obese endometrial cancer survivors pursuing weight loss. Conducted by Nora L. Nock, Huangqi Jiang, Lauren Borato, Jay Alberts, and Anastasia Dimitropoulos, the research highlights significant differences in brain activation related to obesity class, suggesting innovative targets for weight loss interventions.

Abstract
This study investigated the neural response to food cues in obese endometrial cancer survivors seeking weight loss, categorized by obesity class (I/II and III). Using fMRI, researchers measured brain activation in response to high-calorie vs. non-food images in fasted and fed states. Class III obesity showed significantly higher dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) activation and lower insula activation in the fasted state compared to Class I/II. Increased DLPFC activation persisted in both groups in the fed state. Findings suggest targeting DLPFC in weight loss interventions, particularly for severe obesity.
