Table 1.

DA metabolite levels (DOPAC and HVA) in animals that were binge eating each day at normal and reduced body weight, and controls with access to sugar only a few times, at normal and reduced body weight

Treatment DOPAC HVA
Normal body weight
 2-h Daily sugar 110%
F(6,48)=3.4, P<0.01		 115%
F(6,48)=3.8, P<0.01
 Control 108%
F(6,48)=3.0, P<0.05		 112%
F(6,48)=3.1, P<0.01
Reduced body weight
 2-h Daily sugar 114%
F(6,48)=4.9, P<0.001		 115%
F(6,48)=3.8, P<0.001
 Control 108%
F(6,48)=2.3, P<0.05		 115%
F(6,48)=8.4, P<0.0001

P values based on results from one-way ANOVAs for each group compared to baseline.
