Binge-eating behavior in mice: influences of restriction and palatability in a limited access model (2009-05-15)Animal models of bingeing have typically used stress to induce bingeing. A recent model, limited-access to high-fat diet (HFD), has shown that caloric restriction and stress were not required to induce bingeing in rats. ...
