Pharmacological modulation of the endocannabinoid signalling alters binge‐type eating behaviour in female rats

Background and Purpose Binge eating disorder ( BED ) is characterized by excessive food intake during short periods of time. Recent evidence suggests that alterations in the endocannabinoid signalling could be involved in the pathophysiology of BED . In this study, we investigated whether pharmacological manipulation of endocannabinoid transmission may be effective in modulating the aberrant eating behaviour present in a validated rat model of...
