Abstract
⺠A deficient dopaminergic system may drive compensatory reward-seeking behaviours. ⺠Acute tyrosine/phenylalanine depletion (ATPD) was used to deplete global dopamine levels. ⺠The effect of ATPD on eating behaviour in healthy volunteers was examined. ⺠ATPD was associated with reduced hunger following a fixed-test meal relative to the control condition. ⺠We found no evidence for compensatory eating following ATPD.
