Gut Hormones in Obese Women With and Without Binge Eating: Different Appetite Hormone Profiles
Obese women with binge eating disorder showed different ghrelin, PYY, and GLP-1 profiles than obese non-bingers, suggesting BED involves specific gut hormone dysregulation beyond obesity-related changes.
Quick Facts
What This Study Found
Obese women with BED showed distinct postprandial gut peptide profiles (altered ghrelin, PYY3-36, GLP-1) compared to non-binge obese controls, identifying BED-specific gut hormone dysfunction beyond general obesity-related appetite changes.
