Summary

This study looked at whether stress hormones released after eating influence body fat in overweight and obese people. 23 men were given either a drug that blocks these hormones or a placebo during two periods of overeating. The goal was to see if blocking the hormone changes how much fat is gained, helping us understand the link between food, hormones, and weight.
