Prolonged High Fat Diet Reduces Dopamine Reuptake without Altering DAT Gene Expression (2013)

Jackson J. Cone, Elena H. Chartoff, David N. Potter, Stephanie R. Ebner, Mitchell F. Roitman Abstract The development of diet-induced obesity (DIO) can potently alter multiple aspects of dopamine signaling, including dopamine transporter (DAT) expression and dopamine reuptake. However, the time-course of diet-induced changes in DAT expression and function and whether such changes are dependent […]
