This document discusses gut hormones and their role in appetite regulation and digestion. It describes how hormones like ghrelin, cholecystokinin, peptide YY, glucagon-like peptide-1, and oxyntomodulin are released during digestion to promote feelings of fullness and reduce food intake. Maintaining healthy levels of these gut hormones through diet and lifestyle can help with weight management and metabolic health. The document also advertises for a research study looking at the effects of food on gut hormones.
1. Gut Hormones - Appetite, mood and health

2. Our body needs food as a source of fuel to power all
of its processes.
Digestion â Gastrointestinal system
Gastrointestinal hormones â help digest and absorb
food
5. Ghrelin
hunger
Wren, A. M., et al. (2001). "Ghrelin enhances appetite and increases food intake in
humans." J Clin Endocrinol Metab 86(12): 5992.
6. How to achieve lower Ghrelin Levels ?
Ghrelin seems to be a hormone that canât be
directly controlled with drugs, diets or
supplements.
Avoid weight extremes
Eat more protein
Regular eating
No skipping meals
Maintain a stable weight
10. CCK
Gallbladder to release a substance called bile
Bile- essential for the digestion and absorption of fat
decreases food intake
Little, T. J., et al. (2005). "Role of cholecystokinin in appetite control and body weight regulation." Obes Rev 6(4): 297-306.
11. PYY
Released after a meal
Reduces food intake
Makes you feel full
Batterham, R. L., et al. (2002). "Gut hormone PYY3-36 physiologically inhibits food intake."
Nature 418(6898): 650-654.
12. GLP-1
Released after a meal
Reduces food intake
Makes you feel full
Naslund, E., et al. (1999). "Energy intake and appetite are suppressed by glucagon-like
peptide-1 (GLP-1) in obese men." Int J Obes Relat Metab Disord 23(3): 304-311.
13. OXM
Released after a meal
Reduces food intake
Makes you feel full
Cohen, M. A., et al. (2003). "Oxyntomodulin suppresses appetite and reduces food
intake in humans." J Clin Endocrinol Metab 88(10): 4696-4701.
14. Two major roles for gut hormones
in appetite regulation
The release of gut hormones can modulate
normal hunger and satiety.
Obesity - 37% of Irish adults overweight, 24%
obese
Very high levels of gut hormones may be
released to generate food dislike and nausea.
15. Hot topics in the field of research
Gut hormone infusion study
GLP-1 analogue
GLP-1 responders/non- repsonders
Gut Hormone Study
16. How to achieve higher satiety gut
hormone levels ?
Protein
Healthy Fats
Fiber
Complex
carbohydrates

are interested in recruiting volunteers for a study looking at the
effect of food on gut hormones by consuming a buffet meal
containing foods of your liking.
If you are aged 18 years or over
You may be eligible.
You will be reimbursed for your travel !

Your food is digested in a complex process and that process also involves a wide variety of hormones.Â
Besides water and air, what else do you need in order to live a healthy life? Nope, not your phone, but good guess. It's food. Your body needs food as a source of fuel to power all of its processes.Â
But the food doesn't magically enter your body's cells. It needs to be digested thanks to the gastrointestinal system, a collection of cells, tissues, organs, and biochemicals that allow for the digestion and absorption of food into the body.
gastrointestinal hormones, which are biological molecules that help your body digest and absorb the food that you eat.
Let's pretend you're eating a pizza slice. As you swallow a piece of it, it moves from your mouth, into the esophagus (food tube), and down into the stomach.
Ghrelin, which is made by the stomach. Ghrelin levels increase before a meal and decrease after a meal. So, one of its functions is to increase a person's hunger.
People ask me my relationship status I always say HUNGRY ! Reason- ghrelin
Ghrelin levels increase before a meal and decrease after a meal. So, one of its functions is to increase a person's hunger.
Ghrelin can exert diverse biological actions, including effects on hormone secretion, glucose homeostasis, pancreatic function, gastrointestinal motility, cardiovascular function, immunity, inflammation, cell proliferation and survival, bone metabolism, reproduction, memory, sleep, and more.
Vigorous efforts are underway in the pharmaceutical industry to develop ghrelin- receptor antagonists to treat obesity, as well as agonists to treat wasting conditions.
While you might assume obese people have higher levels, they may just be more sensitive to its effects. In fact, some research shows their levels are actually lower than in lean people
Ghrelin levels increase significantly on a weight loss diet. The longer the diet, the more your levels will increase.
Partially digested pizza moves to the small intestine now and its called chyme (put a picture )
Chyme comes in contact with the wall of the small intestine (Unfortunate its called small intestine when its 22 feet long) and certain satiety hormones get released signals sent to brain to gage how much food needs to be consumed â so lets see which hormones are those
Say abbreviations
The partially digested bite of the pizza moves on to the intestines. The first part of the intestines is called the duodenum. It is attached directly to the stomach. And here is where the cocktail hormones are released.
On the note of the pancreas, this is an organ that also secretes digestive enzymes. And, what do you know? There's a gastrointestinal hormone that tells the pancreas to do this. That hormone is called cholecystokinin. It's thankfully abbreviated as CCK. CCK is also released by the cells of the duodenum, and besides stimulating the pancreas to release digestive enzymes, it also tells the gallbladder to release a substance called bile, which is essential for the digestion and absorption of fat.
Add references
High doses of PYY3â36 have been reported to cause conditioned taste aversion in animals and nausea in humans.
Obese lower levels of PYY
Circulating ghrelin levels increase before a meal and correspond to hunger pangs. A number of anorectic gut hormones are released postprandially as satiety signals.
Why did I spend last 10 mins what gut hormones are released after ingestion of pizza
GH essential for energy balance â any imbalance to one or any hormones leads to certain comorbidities including current world problem of obesity â ireland obesity â WHO report says by 2020 Ireland most obese in europe
Obesity is not rocket science but much more complicated !
ICL- worked on it (PYYGLP-1 OXYM- pump infuse )- food intake â inject in humans work same way â cocktail
GLP-1 analogue â liraglutide
UCD â new study coming up with liraglutide â responders/ benefits for obesity â side effects
Most effective way of treating obesity is surgery so I am currently working at UCD â help us to further understand how surgery works but to come up with non invasive ways of treatment for obesity
RYGB to healthy individuals
Eat proteins first â then salad and then carbohydrates â feel full leave in plate â put smaller portion or donât feel afraid to leave left overs
Natural release of gut hormone (balance) â well balanced diet /proper sleep and rest
