Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction Eating Disorders and Obesity are a primary global public health concern. Areas Covered This article aims to trace the neurochemical mechanisms of unwanted eating disorders and target specific loci, within the Brain Reward Cascade (BRC) for therapeutic interventions. Changes due to BRC polymorphisms in functional connectivity and neurotransmission can manifest as overeating, Bulimia Nervosa, and Anorexia Nervosa, and other related eating disorders. Expert opinion Variations in dopamine function within the Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA), Nucleus Accumbens (NAc), and Ventral Striatum of individuals result in different outcomes related to maladaptive eating behaviors. The goal is to reduce maladaptive eating behaviors by implementing novel strategies that induce Dopamine Homeostasis within the BRC. Clinicians determine genetic risk severity and identify polymorphic targets for either pharmaceutical or nutraceutical interventions. Precision neuro-nutrient formulations of KB220 (Research ID Code) matched precisely to deficient neurotransmitter systems may promote the long-term development of ‘dopamine homeostasis’ to treat and prevent overeating, Bulimia, and Anorexia Nervosa.
期刊介绍:
Expert Review of Precision Medicine and Drug Development publishes primarily review articles covering the development and clinical application of medicine to be used in a personalized therapy setting; in addition, the journal also publishes original research and commentary-style articles. In an era where medicine is recognizing that a one-size-fits-all approach is not always appropriate, it has become necessary to identify patients responsive to treatments and treat patient populations using a tailored approach. Areas covered include: Development and application of drugs targeted to specific genotypes and populations, as well as advanced diagnostic technologies and significant biomarkers that aid in this. Clinical trials and case studies within personalized therapy and drug development. Screening, prediction and prevention of disease, prediction of adverse events, treatment monitoring, effects of metabolomics and microbiomics on treatment. Secondary population research, genome-wide association studies, disease–gene association studies, personal genome technologies. Ethical and cost–benefit issues, the impact to healthcare and business infrastructure, and regulatory issues.
