The amount of dopamine released by the body affects how much the fun of tasty food is received by a person: the less it is, the less a person enjoys appetizing food, the more this food is needed to satisfy his need for pleasure - and, therefore, the more chances he has American scientists have found out, according to an online edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. net Researchers during the year observed 76 girls aged 14 to 22 years, each of which passed a test for the genetic version of Taq1A1 (its carriers in the brain decreased the amount of dopamine receptors). Participants of the experiment were offered to drink first a chocolate cocktail, and then a tasteless drink, while using special equipment controlling the activity of the "pleasure center".

As a result, it was possible not only to trace a certain pattern, but also accurately predict which of the girls will gain weight during the year.

"Although recent studies have indicated that fat people are less likely to enjoy eating, and to compensate for this feature, they eat more, a potential proof of the existence of such a relationship is obtained for the first time," said Eric Stice of the University of Oregon.
