Hinweis der Redaktion
Meal patterns vary among individuals yet most individuals maintain stable body weights over long intervals. The explanation is that energy homeostasis is accomplished via control of meal size. A key concept regards the integration of signals generated acutely in response to food being eaten with signals that reflect the current state of energy balance (adipose stores). Meal-related (i.e., "satiety" signals) are typified by cholecystokinin (CCK), and adiposity signals are typified by leptin and insulin.
