Snacks en eetgewoontes
- Informatie over jouw gen
Het MC4R gen is belangrijk voor het onderhouden van de energiebalans in het controlecentrum van de hersenen (de hypothalamus). Het regelt de eetlust, voedselvoorkeur, voedselgenot, het gevoel vol te zijn (verzadiging) en eetgedrag zoals snacken en emotioneel eten. De MC4R gen is ook gekoppeld aan je kans op overgewicht.
