If obesity was purely related to the hormonal imbalance of these hunger/satiation hormones, what would we expect to see in obese individuals? What do we observe? 2. What is a common feature between food overconsumption, drug addiction, and dopamine receptor (D2) in certain individuals? Why is this significant for possible treatments? 3. Describe the drugs Belviq, and Rimonabant and their possible role in hunger control.
