The Gut's Role in Body Weight Regulation: GLP-1, PYY, Ghrelin, and the Future of Obesity Treatment
Gut hormones including GLP-1, PYY, and ghrelin regulate body weight through integrated appetite and energy balance signaling, with GLP-1 agonists emerging as the most promising clinical obesity targets.
Quick Facts
What This Study Found
Gut hormones (GLP-1, PYY, ghrelin, CCK, oxyntomodulin) regulate body weight through coordinated appetite and energy expenditure signaling, with GLP-1 receptor agonists showing the most advanced clinical development for obesity treatment.
Key Numbers
