研究发现人类大脑被捆绑到 渴望食糖, 类似于吸毒成瘾, 有可能帮助肥胖症研究。
Study finds human brains are wired to crave sugar, similar to drug addiction, potentially aiding obesity research.
最近的一项科学研究显示,人类大脑被绑在渴望糖上,这是甜味引发的,它激活了类阿片受体,产生了一种奖励感。
A recent study in Science reveals that the human brain is wired to crave sugar, triggered by the sweet taste activating opioid receptors, which create a feeling of reward.
在小鼠和人类身上都观察到了这种情况,这表明糖的偏好在演变。
This was observed in both mice and humans, suggesting an evolved preference for sugar.
了解这一神经途径可有助于解释肥胖症,并导致新的减肥药物,阻塞鸦片剂受体并抑制食欲。
Understanding this neural pathway could help explain obesity and lead to new weight loss medications that block opiate receptors and suppress appetite.
