Regulation of Food Intake: Peripheral Mechanisms

In addition to central mechanisms, food intake is regulated by peripheral

pathways, including gastric distension and the release of peripheral peptide signals that

communicate with the hypothalamus to induce appetite and hunger or satiety and

satiation. The present chapter summarizes the current knowledge related to peripheral

peptides involved in the short- and long-term regulation of food intake.

Keywords: Long-term regulation of food intake, Peripheral peptides, Peripheral signaling, Short-term regulation of food intake
