Researchers say that high fat diet can alter brain waves which may make it difficult to lose weight. Researchers have done an experiment on rodents.

They were put on high fat diet. When they felt full, they developed injuries in hypothalamus. Also, they got signals from the area guiding them to stop eating.

These similar reflections and injuries are also present in obese people, said the researchers. This study was conducted at Washington School of Medicine. “Within 24 hours of switching rodents to a high fat diet, we found injury in the hypothalamus area,” said the co-author, Michael Schwartz.

Researchers have said that tissues and organs get inflames because of obesity. In hypothalamus also, there may be an inflammation which obstructs its response to insulin. It also regulates the weight of your body.
