Exercise Affects Appetite Hormones Differently in Men and Women

evidence
The takeaway

Exercise altered energy-regulating hormones (ghrelin, PYY, GLP-1, insulin, leptin) differently between men and women, with sex-specific appetite hormone responses — exercise appetite effects are gender-dependent.

Key finding

Exercise altered energy-regulating hormones (ghrelin, PYY, GLP-1, insulin, leptin) differently between men and women, with sex-specific appetite hormo
