Hyperphagia: Current concepts and future directions proceedings of the 2nd international conference on hyperphagia [PDF]
ObjectiveHyperphagia is a central feature of inherited disorders (e.g., Prader–Willi Syndrome) in which obesity is a primary phenotypic component. Hyperphagia may also contribute to obesity as observed in the general population, thus raising the potential importance of common underlying mechanisms and treatments.

The study of hyperphagia in dementia [PDF]
About 750 000 people suffer from dementia in the United Kingdom. This number is rising as the proportion of those over 65 years old increases. Excessive eating (hyperphagia) occurs at some stage in about 25 % of people suffering from dementia. This can lead to consumption of unsuitable substances and a significant gain in weight, which may make care at

A phenotypic Caenorhabditis elegans screen identifies a selective suppressor of antipsychotic-induced hyperphagia [PDF]
The molecular pathway(s) driving antipsychotics (AP) induced hyperphagia remains unclear. A novel C. elegans system is used here to screen for FDA approved drugs that selectively suppresses this response, unraveling potential molecular mediators ...

Resource allocation, hyperphagia and compensatory growth [PDF]
Organisms often shown enhanced growth during recovery from starvation, and can even overtake continuously fed conspecifics (overcompensation). In an earlier paper (Ecology 84, 2777-2787), we studied the relative role played by hyperphagia and resource ...

Burden of hyperphagia and obesity in Bardet–Biedl syndrome: a multicountry survey
Background Signs and symptoms of Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS) occur during early childhood, progress over time, and place substantial, multifaceted burden on patients and their caregivers. Hyperphagia may be a contributing factor to early-onset obesity in

Hyperphagia in intestinal disease [PDF]
Six patients with hyperphagia (ingestion of 5-11 000 Kcals/day) associated with severe malabsorption and steatorrhoea are described. The cause of the malabsorption was coeliac disease in three patients, Crohn's disease with ileal resection in two, and carcinoma of the pancreas in one patient.

Nuclear receptor 5A2 regulation of Agrp underlies olanzapine-induced hyperphagia [PDF]
Antipsychotic (AP) drugs are efficacious treatments for various psychiatric disorders, but excessive weight gain and subsequent development of metabolic disease remain serious side effects of their use.
