Data for: Hungry to gamble? Ghrelin as a predictor of persistent gambling in the face of loss

This data set was obtained from a study looking at the association between plasma ghrelin and gambling behaviour. Subjects were either fasted or not, and later were brought to a lab with either gambling or no gambling cues. Our data suggest that the cues increase ghrelin, and that, overall, regardless of the manipulation, ghrelin concentrations can predict gambling perseverance.

本数据集源自一项研究，旨在探讨血浆中生长激素释放肽（ghrelin）与赌博行为之间的关联。受试者或处于禁食状态，或未禁食，随后被带至实验室，接受赌博或非赌博提示。我们的数据表明，提示信息能够提升ghrelin水平，总体而言，无论经过何种操作，ghrelin浓度均能预测赌博的持续性。
