title: [Regulation of body weight and food palatability].
abstract: It is as though the body weight, or a variable correlated closely with body weight, was submitted to regulation. This regulation is analyzed from known human studies. This short bibliography study reviews interrelations between palatability of food stuffs and ponderostat. Findings show that palatability elevates ingestion rate, metabolic output rate and ponderostat set point. Reciprocally, ingestion and the set point modulate food palatability.
