Where Fat Hits the Intestine Matters: Location and Length of Fat Exposure Affect Hunger

evidence
The takeaway

The length and specific location of small intestinal fat exposure independently influenced hunger and food intake, with more intestinal surface exposure and distal delivery producing stronger satiety.
