Gut satiety hormones (GLP-1, PYY, CCK, oxyntomodulin) control meal termination through neural and hormonal pathways, with combined peptide approaches showing the most promise for obesity treatment.

What the researchers found
Post-prandial gut hormones (GLP-1, PYY, CCK, oxyntomodulin) signal satiety through vagal and bloodstream pathways to brainstem/hypothalamic circuits, with combination peptide mimicry showing greater satiety than single agents — the future of appetite pharmacology.
