Study links Proteobacteria gut bacteria to compulsive eating in humans and mice, suggesting potential treatments for food addiction and obesity.
A study published in the journal Gut links a specific type of gut bacteria, Proteobacteria, to compulsive eating in humans and mice. These bacteria were found in high numbers in those with food addiction, while Actinobacteria decreased in food-addicted individuals and increased in those without addiction. The researchers suggest that understanding the role of gut bacteria could lead to new treatments for food addiction and obesity.
