The Role of Psychobiological and Neuroendocrine Mechanisms in Appetite Regulation and Obesity

Abstract: Obesity is a multifactorial disease. Among its causes are physical inactivity and overeating. In addition, other factors may play an important role in the development of overweight/obesity. For example, certain hormones including leptin, insulin and ghrelin, may influence appetite and consequently body weight. Obesity frequently co-exists with metabolic disorders including dyslipidemia, hypertension and insulin resistance, thus constituting the metabolic syndrome which is characterized by increased cardiovascu… Show more

“…On the contrary, in G1, the absence of a factor that decreases the BG levels, cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins, and triglycerides in the blood during lactation maintained active metabolic mechanisms that cause lactational hypophagia (Paspala et al, 2012) and its negative effects on voluntary feed intake (Rigón et al, 2008). The fact that the increase in dFI −1 of sows in G2 was not lineal during the 3 weeks of lactation (Fig.…”

“…Ghrelin is produced predominantly by the cells of the gastric fundus, the majority of which is removed during this procedure. Ghrelin stimulates appetite, increases gastric motility and secretion, increases growth hormone secretion and reduces fat utilization [ 10 12 ]. Short-term studies have confirmed the safety and effectiveness of this restrictive procedure; however, limited long-term data (> 5 years) are available so far [ 9 , 13 – 15 ].…”

“…While food intake refers to 'what we eat', eating behavior refers to 'how we eat'. Food intake is a biological phenomenon that intends to maintain the energy balance of the body, eating behavior is an environmental phenomenon affecting the dietary preferences and food induced hedonic effect 1,2 . Energy intake is affected by various factors and characteristics of the food environment ( Fig.…”
