اثرات گلوکز خون بر تخفیف تاخیر، مصرف غذا و مقابله با آن در مردان چاق و لاغر

Our data suggest that augmented delay discounting is a robust feature in obesity that is not linked to glucose levels or actual food intake. With our systematically controlled approach, combining performance in delay discounting with regard to distinct blood glucose levels, different weight groups, counterregulatory behavior and food intake, our results imply that delay discounting is not susceptible to fluctuations of blood glucose and do not support the assumption that a low body’s energy content leads to increased impulsivity. Further replications including women and larger sample sizes are needed to corroborate our data.
