Abstract:
Food intake,energy expenditure and body adiposity are homeostatically regulated.Hypothalamus and brainstem are key brain regions of the system.In the state of hunger or satiety,the neural and hormonal messages from the gut regulate energy homeostasis through reflection or direct effect on the hypothalamus and brainstem,Which is referred to as brain-gut signaling.New researches on the special physiological functions of gut hormones are expected to offer a target for anti-obesity drugs.
