A simple action reduces high fat diet intake and obesity in mice

Mason R. Barrett, Yiyan Pan, Chantelle L. Murrell, Eva O. Karolczak, Justin G. Wang, Lisa Z. Fang, Jeremy M. Thompson, Yu-Hsuan Chang, Eric Casey, Jordyn E. Czarny, Wang Lok So, Alex Reichenbach, Romana Stark, Hamid Taghipourbibalan, Suzanne R. Penna, , Alexxai V. Kravitz

This study shows that requiring mice to perform a simple action to access high-fat diet reduces intake and prevents obesity, suggesting that easy access promotes overeating.
