Yet another reason to watch your fat consumption

Penn State Live: "according to a Penn State study.

'When we gave the rats doses of a 'stop eating' hormone, the rats on the low-fat diet significantly suppressed their intake of the snack but not the rats on the high-fat diet,' said Mihai Covasa, assistant professor of nutritional sciences and a member of the Penn State Neuroscience Institute who led the study. 'These results suggest that a long-term, high-fat diet may actually promote short-term overconsumption of highly palatable foods high in dietary fat by reducing sensitivity to at least one important feedback signal which would ordinarily limit eating.'"
