It's very interesting.
It finally manages to explain a little more about how the body works.

That is really fascinating.

I also wonder how they got those study participants to agree to being locked in a simulated ship for 3 months.

Money. Tax free money.

I used to participate in a lot of medical studies. The more invasive and time consuming, the more money you get. In 1985, when the minimum wage was $3.35, I got $2000 for allowing myself to be intubated and put on a mechanical ventilator (with IVs and monitoring) for 8 hours.

I'm pretty sure that anything that tastes good increases hunger/appetite lol. Didn't even need to do a study!
