A. Data generated from animal models of binge eating have yielded important insights pertaining to physiological and neurochemical alterations that may be the cause, or consequence, of abnormal eating behaviors. Several animal models have been developed for the study of binge-eating behavior (see Corwin & Buda-Levin, 2004 for review). Some models encourage voluntary binge eating in sated animals by offering limited access (eg, 2-h/day) to a palatable food, such as those high in fat or sugar (Berner, Avena, & Hoebel, 2008; Dimitriou, Rice, & Corwin, 2000), in addition to ad libitum access to standard rodent chow. Other models incorporate periods of moderate food deprivation in order to stimulate animals to binge eat when a palatable food is presented (Avena, Rada, & Hoebel, 2008b). Sham feeding via a gastric fistula, in which the amount of food consumed is not constrained by stomach capacity, has also been used to model binge eating by allowing rats to consume large amounts of liquid food in a brief period of time (Avena, Rada, Moise, & Hoebel, 2006; Smith, 1989). Stressors can also precipitate binge eating in rats (Boggiano et al., 2005).
