Appetite Control Hormones

Meaning

Appetite Control Hormones are a collection of endogenous signaling molecules that originate primarily from the gastrointestinal tract, adipose tissue, and the central nervous system, collectively regulating hunger, satiety, and energy balance. These key peptides and hormones act on the hypothalamus to modulate feeding behavior and overall energy expenditure. Effective body weight management fundamentally depends on the balanced and coordinated action of this intricate hormonal network. Disruptions in the signaling of these molecules are a major driver of chronic weight dysregulation and obesity, requiring clinical attention for sustained health.
