Resumen

DIAZ-URBINA, Daniel; ESCARTIN-PEREZ, Rodrigo Erick; LOPEZ-ALONSO, Verónica Elsa  y  MANCILLA-DIAZ, Juan Manuel. Effects of a high-fat diet on behavioral eating patterns. Act.Colom.Psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.21, n.1, pp.95-115. ISSN 0123-9155.  https://doi.org/10.14718/acp.2018.21.1.5.

Excessive consumption of high-fat food has been associated with increased prevalence of obesity. The physiological and metabolic effects of high-fat diets have been extensively studied. Nevertheless, the behavioral mechanisms associated with the development of obesity induced by consumption of these diets has been less explored. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to characterize the changes in the behavioral feeding patterns produced by the consumption of a high-fat diet during 10 days. Male Wistar rats with free access to food were assigned to one of two groups, and for 10 days, they had access to a high-fat diet (45 % calories from fat) or to a standard diet. Detailed analysis of feeding behavior was performed on days 1, 5 and 10 at the beginning of the dark period. The results showed that subjects exposed to the high-fat diet accumulated more body fat and showed increased feeding efficiency, in absence of excessive body weight increase or alterations in the behavioral satiety sequence pattern. These findings suggest that exposure to high-fat diets may produce behavioral changes before excessive gain of body weight occurs, primarily affecting control mechanisms of feeding efficiency.
