Study Notes
- Symptoms of satiety include stomach contractions, weakness, irritability, occasional headache, and the sensation of fullness after eating.
- The cephalic phase of gastric secretion is initiated by the sight, smell, thought or taste of food, leading to a conditioned reflex and accounting for about 20% of gastric secretion.
- Taste is detected by receptor cells in the tongue and other parts of the mouth, and signals are sent to the brain through nerve fibers.
- The intestinal phase is a stage in which the duodenum responds to arriving chyme and moderates gastric activity through hormones and nervous reflexes.
- The gastric phase is a period in which swallowed food and semidigested protein activate gastric activity, and accounts for about 50-60% of total gastric acid secretion.
- The stomach produces the appetite-stimulating hormone ghrelin, which increases before meals, stimulates gastric motility and acid secretion, and increases with weight loss.
- The hormone leptin, secreted by adipose tissue, signals satiety to the hypothalamus and inhibits appetite when fat cells produce a high level of leptin. Leptin resistance can occur in obesity, generating oxidative stress and hindering the ability to maintain optimal energy levels.
- Insulin, a hormone secreted by the pancreas, temporarily suppresses appetite and transforms consumed food into glucose for the body to use as energy.
- Peptide YY (PYY) is an appetite-suppressing hormone secreted from the endocrine L cells of the small and large bowel and released into circulation after meals.
