Electrical Stomach Stimulation Changes Appetite Hormone Production in the Gut Wall
Gastric and intestinal electrical stimulation directly modulated appetite regulatory peptide hormone expression (ghrelin, CCK, PYY) in the gut wall of obese rats — the hormonal mechanism behind neurostimulation-based obesity devices.
Quick Facts
What This Study Found
Gastric/intestinal electrical stimulation modulated local expression of appetite peptides (ghrelin, CCK, PYY) in the gut wall of obese rats, demonstrating that neurostimulation devices directly reprogram local gut peptide production for appetite modification.
