“Insulin in the brain improved the functional connectivity between the hippocampus which suppressed the feeling of hunger and improved insulin sensitivity in the body. This very interesting study shows that insulin in the brain may have an important role for satiety and insulin sensitivity in the body.”

“In fact, the prevalence of reported consumption of sugary foods, such as chocolate, sweets, candies, pastries, cakes, or cookies, was 29% lower when compared with the control group, perhaps due to increased satiety hormones.”

“From the article: > "The BDNF gene has previously been linked to obesity, and scientists have been working for several years to understand how changes in this particular gene may predispose people to obesity," said Jack A. Yanovski, M.D., Ph.D. [...] > The BDNF protein plays several roles in the brain and nervous system and, at high levels, the protein can stimulate the feeling of fullness.”

“This study also sheds some light on why there is a high risk of regaining weight upon initial weight loss. The hunger hormone, PPY, increased immediately after weight loss but returned to normal levels after one year.”

“By choosing low-glycemic, nutrient-rich carbohydrate sources, we can support stable blood glucose levels and improved insulin sensitivity. Prioritize protein Adequate protein intake from quality sources—such as meat, dairy, and eggs—supports metabolic health by promoting satiety and muscle maintenance.”

“The body's appetite feedback circuit is a sophisticated system that regulates hunger and satiety to maintain energy balance. Suppressing this circuit is essential to successful weight loss before reaching a plateau.”

“Findings from the mouse study suggested that this increased risk of obesity was driven by epigenetic mechanisms associated with the altered expression of the proopiomelanocortin gene (known as POMC), which plays critical roles in the neuronal regulation of appetite, satiety, and food intake.”

“Leptin is a satiety hormone that signals the brain to balance energy. When body fat increases or decreases, blood concentrations of leptin change accordingly. Higher leptin levels signal the brain to reduce hunger and boost energy use.”
