Quotations:

"Compared with mice who had free access to food, the calorie-restricted mice showed lower levels of depression and anxiety ...."

"Our findings in mice suggest that chronic stress causes ghrelin levels to go up, and that behaviours associated with depression and anxiety decrease when ghrelin levels rise ......... an unfortunate side effect, however, is increased food intake and body weight ......." Rodney.
