Researchers from the Tübingen University Hospital and several other institutes have found that even short-term consumption of high-calorie foods can reduce the brain's sensitivity to insulin. And this contributes to the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes. The findings were published in the scientific journal Nature Metabolism.
A total of 29 male volunteers of average weight participated in the respective study and were split into two groups. For five days in a row, the first group had to supplement their regular diet with 1500 kcal from highly processed, high-calorie snacks. The extra calories were not consumed by the control group.
The researchers used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to look at the liver's fat content and the brain's insulin sensitivity.
The study showed that not only did the fat content of the liver of the first group increase significantly after five days of increased calorie intake. Surprisingly, the significantly lower insulin sensitivity in the brain compared to the control group also persisted one week after returning to a normal diet. This effect had previously only been observed in obese people.
"Our findings demonstrate for the first time that even a brief consumption of highly processed, unhealthy foods (such as chocolate bars and potato chips) causes a significant alteration in the brain of healthy individuals, which may be the initial cause of obesity and type 2 diabetes," the researchers noted in particular.
Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels and plays a key role in controlling appetite. In a healthy state, insulin suppresses hunger, but in obese people this function is impaired, which leads to insulin resistance.
