What
Causes The Appetite And Obesity Problems In PWS?
- People with PWS have a flaw in the hypothalamus part of
their brain, which normally registers feelings of hunger and satiety. While
the problem is not yet fully understood, it is apparent that people with
this flaw never feel full; they have a continuous urge to eat that they
cannot learn to control. To compound this problem, people with PWS need less
food than their peers without the syndrome because their bodies have less
muscle and tend to burn fewer calories.
