Anorexic Signal

Meaning

An Anorexic Signal is a specific biochemical or neurological message that actively promotes the sensation of satiety or fullness, consequently leading to a measurable reduction in appetite and subsequent food intake. These signals are integral, essential components of the body’s intricate system of energy homeostasis, exerting their primary influence on the appetite-regulating centers in the hypothalamus within the central nervous system. Clinicians pay close attention to these signals for the effective management of body weight and the comprehensive treatment of various metabolic disorders.
