Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prader-Willi syndrome is a genetic disorder that causes constant hunger and a slow metabolism, leading individuals to act as if they are starving. This is due to a deficiency in the hormones that regulate appetite, causing excessive hunger and overeating. LH lesions or dopamine agonists may also affect appetite, but they do not have the same constant and insatiable hunger seen in individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome. Amnesia and Down syndrome are not related to hunger or appetite.
