The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a highly specialized sensory organ that provides crucial
negative feedback during a meal, partly via a gut–brain axis. More specifically …

Background The gastrointestinal tract elicits numerous signals regulating food intake and
satiety, and recently many studies have been performed to elucidate the mechanisms …

Appetite suppressants may be one strategy in the fight against obesity. This study evaluated
whether Korean pine nut free fatty acids (FFA) and triglycerides (TG) work as an appetite …

We investigated the expression of G protein-coupled receptor GPR40 and GPR120 in the rat
tongue. Using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, we detected a significant …

Abstract Context: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is produced by specialized cells in the
gut and secreted in response to carbohydrates and lipids. The mechanisms regulating fat …

Cholecystokinin (CCK), peptide YY (PYY), and ghrelin have been proposed to act as satiety
hormones. CCK and PYY are stimulated during meal intake by the presence of nutrients in …

Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) is a nutrient-dependent proglucagon-derived hormone that
stimulates intestinal growth through poorly understood paracrine and/or neural pathways …

Objective: To investigate the relationship between chemical structure and physiological
effect, the efficacy and the molecular mechanisms involved in the reduction of body weight …

Regulation of food intake and body weight is accomplished by several mechanisms. CNS
receives information from periphery and modifies food intake mainly by vagal nerves that …

Objective Ghrelin is a peptide hormone secreted primarily from the gastric mucosa. It plays a
role in energy balance by stimulating appetite, thereby increasing food intake and …
