Gut Hormones Change With Body Weight: Normal, Overweight, and Obese Have Different Profiles

Gastric sensorimotor function and gut hormone profiles (ghrelin, CCK, PYY) differed progressively between normal weight, overweight, and obese individuals, revealing body weight-dependent gut-brain signaling changes.

What This Study Found

Gastric accommodation, sensitivity, emptying, and gut hormones (ghrelin, CCK, PYY) showed progressive changes from normal through overweight to obese, with disrupted fasting/postprandial hormone profiles providing the hormonal basis for weight-dependent appetite dysfunction.

Key Numbers

How They Did This
