Background: Food intake fluctuates throughout the menstrual cycle; it is greater during the
early follicular and luteal phases than in the late follicular (periovulatory) phase. Ovarian
steroids can influence brain areas that process food-related information, but the specific
contribution of individual hormones and the importance of the prandial state remain
unknown. Objective: The objective was to examine whether brain activation during food
visualization is affected by changes in estradiol concentration in the fasted and fed�…
