A group of men had their regular food intake cut in half. After 24 weeks, their weight stabilized at about three-fourths of their previous weight, even though they were allowed to eat only half of what they typically ate before.

• a proliferation of their lymphocytes.

• the inhibition of their dopamine reuptake

• a sharp decrease in their metabolic rates.

• a dramatic surge in their cholesterol levels.
