Longitudinal study of energy, neurosensory and eating responses durinG pregnancY (ENERGY cohort): A study protocol

Jessica C. McCormack et al.

Summary: The ENERGY cohort study aims to understand the neurosensory mechanisms underlying the links between metabolism and dietary behavior by using pregnancy as a natural model of metabolic reprogramming. The study will test for multi-sensory shifts during pregnancy, the effect of sensory changes on dietary choices and body weights, and identify neurosensory mechanisms that determine macronutrient selection before and after pregnancy.

Summary: Little attention has been paid to olfactory changes during pregnancy, and this study found that pregnant women showed worse odor identification compared to non-pregnant women, but no significant differences were found in odor discrimination, thresholds, or hedonics.

Food craving-like episodes during pregnancy are mediated by accumbal dopaminergic circuits

Roberta Haddad-Tovolli et al.

Summary: Preparation for motherhood involves various physiological and behavioral adjustments to create an optimal environment for embryonic development. Pregnant women often experience cravings for highly palatable foods, which can contribute to overweight or obesity. The neurobiology behind specific food cravings during pregnancy is still unknown. This study shows that mice, like humans, have pregnancy food craving-like episodes, which are associated with changes in brain connectivity. Dopaminergic signaling in the nucleus accumbens, regulated by dopamine D2 receptors, plays a role in modulating these food craving-like events. Importantly, persistent maternal food craving-like behavior can have long-lasting effects on offspring, particularly in males, leading to metabolic and neuropsychological health issues in adulthood.

The role of an individual's olfactory discriminability in influencing snacking and habitual energy intake

Rachel Ginieis et al.

Summary: The study found that individuals with higher olfactory discriminability consumed significantly less energy from snacking, but no significant relationship was found between olfactory discriminability and habitual energy intake. This offers novel insights into the role of individual olfactory sensitivity in shaping eating behavior, particularly in relation to snack consumption.

Summary: During pregnancy, maternal taste preferences change, likely due to alterations in taste buds' expression profile, which may promote a less healthy diet while expecting.

Olfactory dysfunction and oxidative stress in pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum

Yavuz Simsek et al.

Summary: The study compared the total oxidative status, total antioxidant status, and serum estradiol levels in pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) and healthy pregnancies. Olfactory function was also assessed. The HG group had higher TOS and lower TAS compared to the healthy controls, along with lower average smell scores.
