During acute stress, appetite is typically suppressed. 5 Chronic stress generally promotes wanting, seeking, and intake of palatable high-fat and energy-dense foods. 6 Stress, particularly chronic stress, has been linked with obesity and weight gain in several but not all studies. 7,8 The effects of chronic stress on food intake and weight may be related to perturbations in the hypothalamic ...
Acute and chronic exposure to stress can alter both the quantity and quality of calories consumed, and stress-induced alterations in food intake and energy balance can interact with emotional state (Epel et al., 2001). However, although functional associations among stress, food intake/energy balance, and emotion are readily apparent, mechanisms linking these outcomes are poorly understood.
Jan 27, 2020 · Increased food intake, termed “comfort eating”, is a pathologic coping mechanism in chronic stress. Cortisol reactivity under stress is a potent predictor of stress-induced eating behavior ...

Results show that food cues and stress exposure increases food craving and subsequent snacking of highly palatable foods, and food cravings predict subsequent highly palatable food intake. Ghrelin and cortisol hormones appear to play a role in food cue and stress related food motivation and intake.
Mar 28, 2017 · The effects of chronic stress on food intake and weight may be related to perturbations in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. HPA axis activation results in secretion of cortisol, a glucocorticoid that stimulates appetite and increases intake of highly palatable foods . However, results of the relationship between cortisol and ...

Jul 24, 2007 · However, when rats have a choice of highly palatable food, such as lard or sugar, stress increases intake of palatable food specifically [5], [6]. In humans, the literature shows that stress affects eating in a bidirectional way; a subgroup, possibly around 30%, decreases food intake and loses weight during or after stress, while most individuals increase their food intake during stress [7 ...

Mar 5, 2009 · A myriad of different stressors might negate any beneficial self-medicating effect of the stress-induced palatable food intake. Of course, the primary question still remains—can palatable food intake attenuated the response to a single stressor in humans? One piece of evidence hints that it might.
