The study began with School of Agriculture Food and Wine FOODplus Research Center scientists feeding one group of mother rats regular diets and another a mix of treats humans commonly refer to as junk food - snacks high in fat and sugar - during pregnancy and the period of lactation. After this time, injections of opioid receptor blockers, which stop dopamine secretion in the body, were administered in the pups. The study concluded that rats born to mothers who ate junk food during the time of initial development were more likely to have higher tolerance to sugary and fatty foods.
