the hormone that is associate in hunger is gherilne which is produce
by the stomach.
Leptin which is produce by the edipose cells regulate our satiety
center.
the reason a pharmaceutical company will target this is these
hormones are, they are responsible for cause of obesity , and reason is
that hormones play a mojor role what we eat , when we aet and how
much we eat.
for example ,obesit people intent to have out of control desire of over
eating and the reason is that thier feeding center does not send signal
to the hypothalamus to tell the brain when to turn on the leptin
hormone to tell the brain that thy are full.
Leptin alerts the brain to turn off the hunger center and
activates the satiety center when consuming a meal. By
sensitizing the patient to leptin or triggering it’s activity in
the brain, the patient would feel fuller and eat less.
Ghrelin stimulates the hunger center as it deactivates the
satiety center. The drug company could block ghrelin and
decrease the feeling of hunger so the patient’s eat less.
