Obese People Have Delayed Stomach Emptying But Higher CCK and PYY — A Satiety Paradox

Morbidly obese patients showed delayed gastric emptying and impaired gallbladder contraction despite ELEVATED CCK and PYY levels, revealing a paradox of high satiety signals with continued overeating — suggesting satiety resistance.

What This Study Found

Morbidly obese patients had delayed gastric emptying, impaired gallbladder contraction, yet elevated CCK and PYY3-36 levels — a paradox suggesting gut satiety signal resistance in obesity, analogous to leptin resistance.
