De la subsistance à la consommation sélective : quand la pauvreté interroge la sobriété : le cas du glanage alimentaire by Olivia Mercier

“…La sobriété, pierre angulaire de nombreux discours écologiques, se définit par une réduction active de sa consommation. Parce que les personnes en situation de pauvreté ont des marges de manoeuvre réduites, il leur est difficile de se conformer à l’impératif de sobriété, largement diffusé par les médias et les pouvoirs publics. …”

A study on appetite of overweight/obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus based on multimodal magnetic resonance imaging by Mingxuan Gao, Liya Gong, Yanmei Zeng, Dongling Li, Junyan Wen, Ying Guo, Zhujia Li, Jingwen Luo, Chunling Chen, Ge Wen

“…Meanwhile, compared with the HC group, the T2DM group showed a significant decrease in FA (fractional anisotropy) values in the midline region of the orbitofrontal cortex bilaterally, and the left inferior frontal gyrus orbital region also showed a significant decrease in FA values, whereas AD (axial diffusivity), MD (mean diffusivity), and RD (radial diffusivity) increased significantly.Data conclusionT2DM patients have significant alterations in gray matter structure, brain white matter integrity and brain function, and most of the brain regions with significant differences are in the prefrontal cortex, which confirms that the abnormal desire to ingest in T2DM patients is closely related to the functional alterations of the reward system, and that observing the brain function and structural changes of the reward loop through imaging may help in the early diagnosis and treatment of overweight/obese T2DM patients.…”
